I agree with you Rick Blake it is total BS!!! You have some politician with his head up his chute that is going to save North America by banning lead in racing fuel in Canada. Don't these guys ever look at the data to see how little of an effect lead in race fuel has on the environment? I guess he must be trying to show his tree hugging constituants that he is doing something and in turn is killing a profitable industry. He wins the ignoramus award of the century. I have not heard one iota of information regarding what the plan is for phasing lead out of avation fuel.
