Whats remarkable about this quota-tion is that it came rom two passionaterace-car ans, Jennier Lohnes and nine-year old son Talon, (pictured). They wereinspired by our MacPhee Chevrolet IDLE-FREE Pace Car. The boy grew excited,grasped the message right away andinspired his mom to e-mail us.

The Pace Car was on display beore

over 6,000 stock car ans as they thrilledto one o the major summer sportingevents in the region. The annual AtlanticCat 250 stock car race, at Scotia Speed-world, outside Haliax.

I addressed the crowd with a messagethat, on the surace, might seem at oddswith stock car ans. But, talk to anyone

thats concerned about optimum engineperormance, uel economy, and the u-ture and theres little not to like about

driving IDLE-FREE or kids.Its all about our kids. They get our

attention with sound auto advice andit sticks. NASCAR stock car icons JimmyJohnson and Je Gordon have young kidso their own and their public statementsand support o going green leaves littlequestion that uture generations o ans

are driving their actions.In act, NASCAR itsel is quietly mak-

ing enormous strides in walking the talk

on going green, and sharing those eortsand experience with its an base (visitwww.idleree.org to nd out more). In theU.S. and in Canada, thats a big audiencewaiting to be inspired.

In Eastern Canada, stock car livinglegend Jim Hallahan is waiving a check-ered fag or IDLE-FREE or our kids.

Its so simple! Id IDLE my car all thetime. But this has got me thinking aboutmy two grandkids. Its really about the u-ture, says 82 year-old Hallahan a Ca-nadian Motorsport Hall o Fame inductee.

Hallahan is typical o the responsethat IDLE-FREE or our kids oten gets.

Many o us just arent aware that weresending up $ billions in uel and millionso tons o emissions parked whenwere away rom the track. For our kidsmakes it stick.

People also want to know that theyrenot alone and the little things they do to-day will add up to a lot. By inspiring ansthat drive to big events like the pro stocktour, the numbers can be really inspira-tional. 2,500 vehicles in the parking lotcan save a $ hal MILLION dollars in ueland over 12 hundred tons o emissionsevery year ten minutes a day IDLE-

FREE or our kids.I youre a feet manager, the savings

could really rev you up.Visit www.idlereeguy.com . E-mail

me at ron@idleree.org - mention you sawthis article in auto & trucking atlantic and

ask about how you can qualiy or a com-plimentary inspiration session or yourteam. It could give you the traction youneed to save tons o uel and emissions,

while positioning your feet as a leader inthe race to go green.
