One more angle on the current NASCRAP racing,,,
In the old days, Say ten years or so ago maybe a bit more, the speeds were not as fast and I believe the drivers still did more of the racing then.
Now with all the crews running faster then they should and with the addition of the restrictor plates it has turned into a follow the leader roundy round unless something breaks or you have a wreak.
:
There just isn`t that fun of watching the Petty types as mentioned ( or any number of others) doing daring passes like drafting slingshot passes , passing where no one thinks you can, and plan ol` being out raced !!!
The days of chasing the fastest driver because his crew knew how to build a better, faster engine, set the car up better and a bad a** driver have been long gone and with that went the fun.
Occasionally you still might catch a good race today on the smaller tracks. There you really see who has the balls and mentality to really race !!
Do away with the super speedways and NASCRAP could be NASCAR once again !!
I would also like to see more NASCAR road course racing.
We have a Historical Auto Race here in Portland and seeing the old cars and reproductions of the Petty era car race on a road course is a blast !!
Can you imagine if racing went back to production cars ???
:eek:
The car makers would have to give us great two door rear wheel powered cars again !!
Too bad it will never happen,,,,dq
