Who designed this thing George Jetson?
Just realized what the deltawing reminds me of; the car on the Daytona 500 trophy.
I made something that looks just like that in shop class about 10 years ago. Only my car was powered by a CO^2 canister.Quote:

an i the only one who feels it gets worse ever time they see it?
Yeah yeah. Harley J Earl is laughing histerically about all this. Could he have imagined the future so well? I don't know, but that trophy caught my attention, too. Can't believe I didn't notice it sooner.Quote:

This thing was more about ELEMENTS of the sport and of the car, that the owners think are broken and need fixed.
I almost think Bowlby and Chipper made this "car" as ridiculous looking as possible. Maybe to try and scare the sport straight, as they say.
I and most rational people think that BIG changes have to be made, if the sport is to have any future at all. Things have to made SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper. More teams HAVE to be lured. More American drivers HAVE to feel welcome. The cars have to be economically and environmentally smart and have to be relevent with the rest of the car industry.
But this car? No chance the 2012 Indy 500 will have a car that looks like that. Bowlby and Ganassi probably knew that going in. It could look like a car we have used for 35 years. It could look like a car that we used in the 50's and 60's. It won't look like this thing though.
so scotty...
where exactly do you think they can cut costs?
Yea, plus the more and more I see this and think about it it becomes more clear that this car will never happen. It would cause more accidents and require a complete overhaul of the ladder system.Quote:
