It is all enetrtainment.. The minute one car gets much faster than another
they slow it down to make the field even.. What is the point in doing a lot
of R&D at this point only to be slowed down another way. I can see doing a
lot for relibility but more power sure you can use it once and only once..
Then the 'new rule' comes out and they all run the same speed again. At the
end of the day seems pretty pointless to me. The only thing nascar has left
to add is the side show with the bearded lady and the dunking tank..

Yeah Dave, Nascar is all about the fans/money. They are even "standardizing"
the nose piece with a small portion of the hood left up to the mfg's
identity.
But you can't knock the fact that Nascar is by far the largest sporting
event attendance bar none.
Gee, I wonder if a 2 1/2 mile "playing field" has anything to do with it?
LOL Actually, if the fans weren't there, they wouldn't be selling out all those
seats.
So what you suggest is making the cars slower and more reliable and let
Nascar slow the rest of the field down to "make it fair"? That doesn't sound
like
the American way of life to me. And which mfg will step "down" to be the
slowest mfg out there? Nice honor any of them would be clammering for.
I like it the way it is, "even". I wouldn't want one mfg. to outrun the rest
of the field, especially a Toyota Camray!!! Yikes! LOL

Besides, they are very reliable today with the ultimate HP available
according to the rules. 9800 rpm all day long! It's mind boggling and hard to
believe in my book.
