I think you hit the nail on the head.

I started this thread to cut through the BS and see why NASCAR dosn't step into the 21st century and I found my answer. "Because some people just want to see a good race." Race on gentlemen, race on... :)

speaking on a high note, did anyone notice all those empty seats today.
Didn't used to be that way , not even last year.
Nascar is in trouble and they better do something fast
or in a few years it will just have been another fad that was popular for a short time and then people moved on.

oh wait , how could i be so blind,
nascar already has done something to address the problem, jr. received the morning call this week.

Ethanol produced from corn is between 7-12 times more expensive than producing it from sugar cane. Corn production is a result of taxation and government subsidy more than anything else.

NASCAR will always be resistant to change because of vested interests and politics. Even CoT which seems to be working and producing less accidents, was slammed by Kyle Busch on opening day with his famous "They Suck" speech after winning the first race.
I doubt whether the fuel issue would be different, if at all.

CART used Methanol. The IRL uses Ethanol.

Don't forget also, taxes and subsidies are certainly a factor, but so is the fact that you can actually grow corn in the midwest-not sugar cane.

Dave, Jr. got the call my ass, easy to see what you're here about...move along...

Speaking of fads, how's CART and Champ Car and the Pet Rock doing these days.

I think they need to get rid of the lucky dog, if you get a lap down, there is a reason for it. Double file restarts with lap cars in the back. No green, white, checkers finish. Qualify on time, if you are not fast enough, go home!!!!

My change , like it or not, would be 4 sensors in the head rest and two in front of the steering wheel, with accompaning senors on the visor or top of the visor; to be used as the on board camers angle guidance and positioning locators.To truely see what the drivers see and don't see as they drive. Then we could more clearly see how vision is obsrtucted and the importance of spotters, and of course the "in the smoke" look of an oncoming accident.
Other than that use you're imagination of the possibilities. What was he looking at when he kissed his girl before he pulled away.I didn't want to get too graphic, but i'm sure you get the idea..Could have changed the whole Dale Sr. questions about Simpons equiptment. IMO

1. Do away with "The Chase".
2. Do away with 2 lane restarts. Race start side by side, all others 1-35 single file.
3. Do away with "Lucky Dog Pass".
4. Do away with green, white finish.
5. Reduce field to 35 cars. Too many cars now with backmarker/filler/no chance teams.
6. With a 35 car field, you must qualify in the top 35 to be in the field. No more past Champions or whatever. If you can't qualify, you don't belong in the race.
7. Now that I stirred the pot, Lets agree on some changes.
