HIDE YOUR HORSES WHEN YOU GET READY TO GO RACING


Current NASCAR

That bunch is on a roll in Daytona but this one has some sensibility to it..

For the sake of the engine builder Nascar is toying with the fact of reducing the horsepower of the Sprint cup cars. And to see if they will live for 1500 miles or more. Why??? that all mighty dollar figure attached to speed... Another new thought is to slow the cars down so it makes for better racing and the safety factor has a better figure..

Another new curve thrown out is to make the engines usable from sprint to nationwide all the way down to Arca. And no they are not the same,for example sprint runs flat tappet cam and nationwide and trucks run a roller cam. The reasoning is motors could be handed down to lesser teams or money strapped owners, Makes sense doesnt it???? Or Not -- you tell me

IS this the definition of a bad HIT ???


General

In the 24 hour race a car slowed because of engine failure and another at full tilt swerved out to pass another dead into the rear of slowed car.

do these cars have enough front end protection for the driver?? Watch this clip and then you tell me...

Current NASCAR

A 16-driver championship field that would be whittled down to create a winner-take-all season finale is among radical changes reportedly being considered by NASCAR.

Your favorite buddy Brian France has repeatedly said he wants to place a greater emphasis on winning, and he's never ruled out tinkering with the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format in an effort to create the "Game 7 moments" he covets.

The Charlotte Observer first reported Friday night a possible overhaul to the Chase format that France first introduced in 2004 and has made periodic changes to several times since.

The Observer must have a few hidden mice because they hinted this was from the inside...The paper outlined three major changes beginning with expanding the field from 12 drivers to 16 -- meaning a win during the "regular season" would virtually guarantee a driver a spot in the field.

Once the field is set, The Observer said NASCAR is considering eliminations during the 10-race Chase.

Now this is where it gets kinda kinky, The field would be cut after the third, sixth and ninth races. The proposed eliminations would drop the lowest four drivers from title contention after the third, sixth and ninth races, leaving four drivers eligible for a "winner-take-all" race in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The four remaining drivers would go into Homestead with their points reset and tied in the standings, So if you slip snooze or just cant keep up one race you could be thrown out the back door.

This just might create a new meaning for outta my way slowpoke.... Or am I reading what our Brain Boy is say here------------------------------------------------ !
