To me, it really seems NASCAR has complicated the sport too much. Think about it, the days when Richard Petty was racing in the winged dodge and compare NASCAR's interaction with the sport today. NASCAR is in everything about the teams, the car, the parts, the shoes the drivers wear. Some of N's involvement has been very beneficial to the sport while at the same time, other aspects of their involvement seem to have been detrimental to the teams, performance, etc... A benefit of N! involvement in their sport is in fact their rules and at the same time, the sports detriment is the rule book, some of the rules. 1. I am not a big fan of the plate, not at all. 2. The new car design is crap and dangerous to the driver and fan. Design a new body, one that makes sense, 43 drivers can't all be wrong. 3. Let teams have full control over suspensions, down force issues, and brake systems. 4. Specify only the max engine displacement, what teams do from there is it team business. 5. Keep the carbs. 6. Specify the gear ratios. 7. Speficy the fuel cell size. 8. <Your entry here |
would eliminate the need for Restrictor Plates and would reduce the
car speeds down to say 185 MPH. At the same time that would give the
drivers back engine response so they would be better able to remove
their foot from the gas pedal and get back on it. In any case,
controlling engine RPM would take care of many of the problems. At
the same time Nascar would then let the teams do their own thing on
the shocks, springs, and all the other things they like to work on.
Also this would make the engines able to run several races which
would reduce cost a lot. In fact by doing this, all the three top
series at least could use the same engines. A lot of other
advantages!
