Re: The Daytona 500 thread!!!
Actually QC the splitter is gone now, if you check the highlights everyone that went into the grass the lower part of the body no longer gets eaten up, its more like a traditional part of the body designed to wear into the ride height of the car now. Traditional as in race traditional. I think the only way to slow these guys down is to shorten the tracks, we don't have these issues on the smaller tracks only the super speedways. This weekends Phoenix race should be just what the Doctor ordered, everyone will settle down and drafting won't be an issue, they can beat each other up and race just like old times!
But they will never take out the super speedways, I like the idea of flattening them though, no more pin it till the end if they have to get on the brakes in the turns that will slow the average lap times down considerably.
ECR motors were given the order to not run part throttle near the end of Daytona, so they had to let the car they were pushing roll off the throttle and force the pushing car to load their motor.
When it comes down to it fellas its just one type of race track that NASCAR races at, were stuck with them, I have my favorite kind of racetracks like martinsville and bristol, those I don't miss, they are action packed from green to checker. Daytona is the biggest because it is the start of the season and it sets the tone for the year, this year is going to be one of the best years ever!!
