Worst of all, the cult's infamously "failed foray into auto racing" was so avoidable!
All they had to do was have the Dianetics-sponsored race car driver get fully hatted, using Ron's wholetrack racing technology when he was "The Green Dragon".
LRH the race car driver had it infinitely harder back in the day than the 20th century's Dianetics race car driver. My God, Ron had to avoid a racetrack "booby trapped with atom bombs!" Today's Dianetics driver only has to avoid the internet.

.Wow!
I did not know about the $cientology cults failed foray into auto racing. They always manage to shoot themselves in the foot with their $cientological behaviour.

They were also keen on motor racing and every once in a while Scientologists undergoing auditing "will run into [memories of] race tracks and race-track drivers". Hubbard described this in some detail in a 1960 lecture:
"They had turbine-generated cars that went about 275 miles an hour (443 km/h). They ran with a high whine. I notice they've just now invented the motor again. And they had tracks that were booby-trapped with atom bombs, and they had side bypasses. The tracks were mined, and the grandstands were leaded-paned."
The tracks were deliberately designed to be as dangerous as possible, with "a mountain that you went up to the top of and fell off", and death was commonplace; but participants in the races, and any other citizen, might be revived by the civilization's medical ability. According to author Russell Miller,[6] Hubbard liked to reminisce to his followers about "how he was a race-car driver in the Marcab civilization". One of the people who accompanied him aboard his private fleet in the late 1960s described Hubbard's stories of life with the Marcabians:
"LRH said he was a race driver called the Green Dragon who set a speed record before he was killed in an accident. He came back in another lifetime as the Red Devil and beat his own record, then came back and did it again as the Blue Streak. Finally he realized all he was doing was breaking his own records and it was no game any more."
