Most of the photgraphs I have seen of the dayglo do not capture the actual hue of but Chase's 63 Hurtubize pic comes close.
Fred Lorenzen hadan all red STP Plymouth in 1971. I can assume it was also dayglo.
Seeing Richard's STP Dodge at Doverin 1975 was a stunner for me. Will never forget it.
They are doing this because Fryin Brian was never good at math ....
Looks like a good idea
Black and gray colors are kind of strange. White text with these backgrounds is hard on the eyes. A light color with black text is the easiest to read.
I have a medium/dark blue on my web site and it seems to work fairly well.
Got to love it....A big city politcal hack. That is the problem with leftist's, their mental illness blinds them from clear thinking.
We know that Sylvester is not relavent as the current congress has about two weeks to do more damage to this country. His ideaology defines Capitol Hill's agenda of class warfare and division.
Jake worked for Petty Enterpsies during the early mid 60's I do not know the exact period but here is what Richard had to say about him .....
He'd put something on the car and say, OK, now it's right. Here, you go drive it. And don't come back in complaining to me, because I got the car fixed. You go learn how to drive it.' Elder was certainly a leader. He might not always be right, but he was never wrong. One thing about Jake he was always the same. When you saw him coming, you knew what you were going to get. He was good enough and forceful enough that when he said he'd fixed something, they had confidence in the car and could go out and get something done.
This man was a genius and Elder epitomizes OLD SCHOOL. Much has been said hereabout the new compared to the old ....Jake Elder is one of the best ever to turn a wrench. Some feel that a certain feeling is missing these days and that includes myself. The sport of NASCAR owes a tone to people like Jake Elder.
There is a way to do it. NASCAR is concerned about the cars lifting off on the Supers.So they put the package on the cars.The drivers and tires can handle the weight. Part of NASCAR's problem wasconceding to teams and drivers desires in years past. An extra200 lb will slow them down a bit and after all the big boys were running 3,700 lb cars for years with no complaints. What gives ?
It is simple. Add weight, take away usable horspower and loose the AERO. Cut them loose.

I don't want weight added, that will have too much effect on the tires. I'm a little iffie on the fuel injection but it will be part of the sport and I will have to adjust. I agree the cars of today are very ugly, but so are the cars coming from the manufacturers. I'm hoping the rumors of the Pony Cars coming to Cup in 2013 are true. But even if they do, the aero package will follow much like in the nationwide Series. I wish there was a way to eliminate the grip that aero has on this sport today.

The bullet is right in front of them. Take the AERO out of these cars, put more weight in them (200 lbs) was taken out several years ago and take some horspower out of the engines with fuel injection.
Visaully the cars are just palin ugly because of the AERO treatment and this package takes emphasis away from mechanical grip leaning toward AERO grip.
Bumpertag said:Will NASCAR ever find the "Magic Bullet" that will satisfy both the long time fan as well as the newbies that follow the sport? Is it possible? Will we ever be truely happy with the product on the track?
Forget Stock Bodies, thats a thiong of the past.
