24nomo Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 as exciting as Daytona and Talladega are to watch, I just do not see how racing there is sustainable. If you slow them down to keep them from being launched into the stands, It will be like watching paint dry. There is going to be casualties and with todays aggressive lawyers, I see a billion dollar lawsuit coming soon. Enjoy it while you can.

One way to me is to get rid of overtime at those two tracks. If you have the big one and it take more time to clean than you have laps it ends under yellow. I know it sucks but it is better than severely injuring someone.I won't mind racing back to the flag if carnage is on back straight or beyond. As you said something has to be done.

24nomo Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Yea, in the past, there were a few cars that were fast and the rest of the field would scatter out. Now, every car in the field is the same speed and they stay together. I am not sure what the answer is, but let hope noone gets seriously injured or worse. The last time they had fast cars that wasnt a crash fest was when two cars could hook together and get away. I think that may have been the cars with the wings on them so the problem was they would take off like a space ship when airborne. The wing actually promoting flying when the car went upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATED THAT CAR .. i dont care for cars they race now ... nascar went iroc and that is the problem ... teams are not aloud to be innovative anymore .. . other issue i see with the new car .. the rear roof flaps .the are tied to the rear trunk flap . when they raze up they stand up least what i have seen . that in itself catches wind so that could be a big issue .added to the flat bottom where no wind can flow through ..sail boat time . seem to have no down force sideways .but what do i know Edited August 28 by HiTech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron.brown11 Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I hate plate racing! Darrell Waltrip actually said what was needed to fix the racing at those tracks. He said the only way to fix it was to "tear down the banking". The solution is correct, but where he said it wasn't. It was during a live broadcast on Fox, at Talladega. Now I'm not a big fan of DW, but he got that right. NASCAR, on the other hand wasn't happy at all. I never heard him utter anything bad about those tracks again. I'm sick to death of seeing 30+ cars running pace laps, just to get to the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
