[Fot] 2009 F1 Season...worth watching?

[Bill Babcock]

As usual, "Green F1" is a demonstration, not a reality. Analogous to  
people driving their Prius to the airport. The infield at F1 is where  
the fuel gets used.

Here in Maui I do standup paddle surfing, and I've started racing my  
board in distance events. The Maui to Molokai race is coming up. What  
could be more green than a bunch of people on surfboards and outrigger  
canoes paddling across the channel. Well perhaps the fact that each  
paddler needs a chase boat casts little pall on that. It would be far  
more "green" to load everyone into the superferry and blast across the  
channel.
