More banking = more speed.

If they flatten the track out in the corners, the drivers would have to slow down to enter the turns instead of running wide open throttle the entire race. That eliminates the need for a restrictor plate. Straightaway speeds can still be cut using a tapered spacer (which is used in the Truck Series and Nationwide Series) which doesn't slow the throttle response as much as a restrictor plate.

Nothing in my Metrocast contract that says I have to explain my TV viewing habits with Internet dopes like you.

No one asked you to. I simply asked you to explain a post, not your viewing habits moron.

BTW, did I miss the big victory thread where you won your tag case in court??

Can't be a wet nursemaid for everything you miss and can't figure out on your own. Now go finish your Lucky Charms little man and stop jacking people's threads.

Can't miss something that doesn't exist. So you lost time from work AND paid the fine. Did they bust ya for court costs too?

I'l a corn pops man myself.

lose the V8s.
smaller engines will mean slower speeds (for a while).
require them to run on pump gas.
require manufactures to build at least 500 units to qualify as stock

It used to be "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday"
That went away when the race cars bore no resemblance to what was in the showroom (except for a name sticker)

I'm not disagreeing about the stock car stuff, just the engine and fuel comments. These changes won't solve anything unless NASCAR implements more rules on top of them. 4 cylinders and pump gas can make monster hp built the right way. It isn't about the cylinders or gas, it is about airflow.

As far as racing a stock car, I prefer watching a v8 hotrod. If it isn't a "stock car" anymore, so be it I still enjoy the sport.

Yesterdays race was an abomination, NASCAR should be ashamed of themselves and give all the race goers an extra ticket to the venue of their choice. As I see it they can either limit horse power or limit down force to decrease speeds, as I do not see a way to keep the cars on the track at those speeds. They implemented roof flaps and a bunch of other stuff that is not working at those speeds.

Give them all 250 HP and turn 'em loose. So what if one team wins more than the others,sooner or later everyone will catch up who can catch up and if they can't, they can come over my house and what it on tv with me and bich because I'm flipping between the game and the race. TOO MANY PERFORMANCE RULES.

So ... keep V8s but choke them, stop development of technology that could filter down and improve your daily driver, don't race anything close to what a consumer can buy but go ahead and call it "stock car" racing.
Sounds like a plan
