I used to go to local stock car races when I was younger. I’d get home with bits of rubber debris covering the left side of my face, and my clothes smelling like a tire recapping plant. Good times.
The world’s dumbest car feature is synthetic engine noise. Google: fake engine noise. Suggestion: remove the fake engine noise and lower the price of the car. If the car manufacturer insists on being stupid then make synthetic/fake noise an option with a menu of sounds. The options could be a 1960 Harley, an approaching freight train, gun shots (Chicago area only), your boss’s voice fading into the distance, your ex-wife’s voice fading into the distance, your children’s voices fading into the distance or a police siren fading into the distance. Some options may be more tasteful than others.
I remember the smell of burning leaves in the fall. Nice, but I’ve learned to live without it..Synthetic engine noise can be helpful for pedestrians who may not be paying full attention to traffic.
As long as there were crashes, fist-fights, lots of booze, and flying debris, would fans really care? This is not a rhetorical question. Anybody have an opinion?

An exhaust fume cologne could only improve the smell of a NASCAR crowd.

I’ve heard plenty of redneck jokes after I became a Nascar fan, but claiming we smell bad is a new one, and not even that funny.
