'NASCAR Question'

[Panther_99FS]

So has it been proven that 230mph will send a car into the stands at Talledega vice 205mph :ques:
And wouldn't the lack of a restrictor plate spread out the cars a la' Michigan :ques:

No to the first question, yes to the second. I doubt it would cost much more to mandate a super speedway engine with less cubes and no plate. There will be a point in the number of cubes below which it won't run 200 mph no matter what the teams do to it.

how about a staight 6 and automatic trans for daytona and talledega?

Don't think its going to get any better in 2013, after reading this story about testing the newer cars for next year.

I quit paying attention to NASCAR years ago. The cars are all too much alike and too few manufacturers involved. When Pontiac dropped out that was it for me. With just Chevy, Ford and Toyota in it, why bother?
