Two words: Spike strips. That should take care of it.

DRS and push to pass are phoney. Mandatory option tires are phoney. There is so much phoney stuff going on that this is the real reason people are losiong interest. racing needs to be real again.
Indeed. I have a particular dislike for DRS, which seems like such a ridiculous contrivance to artificially create more passes.

One other thing: I started watching some of the GP2 races, which NBC Sports is now carrying. There's some pretty good racing going on there with everybody driving basically the same car and no stupid gimmicks...
