Where does NASCAR Radio get them?

#1

Apparently, a number of callers (okay, only two that I know of, but I
only listen about 45 minutes a day) have come up with the solution to
the "Talladega problem":

Instead of restrictor plates, make them race V6s.

(Say - what DID happen when they tried this, apparently with the early
Busch/Nationwide cars?)

they made the most horrendous noise. like a swarm of bees.
the solution to plate racing, is run stock v8 sedans.

And take away a lot of downforce - make the cars hard to drive, if thats
possible at Dega.

A real stock car does not make 800 HP either. What's your point?

a real stock v8 4dr sedan is the solution to crappy plate razin.
they would be lucky to hit 140mph in the draft.

Why?

I'd rather see them take the plates off, then reduce the mechanical grip so
that corner speeds dropped to around 160-170 mph. Hell, they could run truck
bodies on them if need be. TOT instead of COT.

A real stock car doesn't have any downforce at all...an Impala
or Camry will generate lift equal to it's own weight around 165mph
or so.
