I love my car; I wash it, polish it, shelter it (to the best of my ability) from wears of the weather, have it serviced on schedule and drive it to the best and safest of my ability.
But even with that I’ll have to say I’m not great with cars because apparently to be considered great, I’d have to know my engines, horsepower and have the brilliant knowledge to realize things like how a black coloured bonnet on a non-black coloured car is not the result of an accident requiring a quick/cheap replacement part but instead a costly carbon fibred bonnet.
Now I know I’m not doing the women of the world any favours by admitting this limitation (which I am certain is contributing to the statistics that women useless with cars) but I honestly don’t know engines very well.
So wouldn’t you be surprised or irked to learn that a women who just admitted to knowing nuts about cars wants to share with you something about them and racing of all things!
Then there might be the other lot of you who wonder how cars and racing, one of the biggest contributors to leaving carbon footprints could possibly have anything to do with sustainable living.
Well right you are for thinking so and it was that same curiosity that leads me to finding out about ‘Organic Racing’.
So what’s organic racing? It’s a race team that truly races cars. But, is really more than just racing, it is a lifestyle dedicated to Organic, Holistic and Sustainable Choices.
The organic race team (Team Organic) has a Zero Carbon footprint! How’s that possible you wonder because they race cars? Well from off the race track to back on it each member of the team leads a organic, holistic and sustainable lifestyle. Even the car they race with is a green car that is fuelled in entirety by ethanol and made for less than $30,000, using recycled parts!
By the end of my inquisition, I realized that the with the Organic Race team, it isn’t so much about the race or the car but rather the message they are delivering behind it.
Team Organic aren’t just healthy and happy people with light feet (carbon free), they are also winners on the track because their amazing little green car has won many races even when competing against an array of fast cars that range from BMWs, Corvettes and Mongooses to highly modified Cadillacs and Porsches. Now again I don’t know my cars very well, but those names are synonymous with speed and that much I do know.
What Team Organic is trying to say is, “Food is fuel and organic food is high octane fuel!”
You really must read about the organic racing’s vision. It’s absolutely hilarious yet so craftily noble in intention!
