I am going to the Miami Boat Show that weekend and we will be flying back Sunday afternoon. Depending on the route that air traffic control sets, we maybe able to look down on the track from 30,000 feet.
IMHO the new car is basically a spec racer and is at the other end of the spectrum from the "run what ya brung" roots of stock car racing. I am all in favor of safety but now all of the teams are running the same car which is really stupid at this "elite" level. I know, I know, keep costs down, bla, bla, bla. I would much prefer the following rules for the cars. Engine: displacement limit, carb limit, must be push rods, etc. Body: minimum weight limit, aero limits, must resemble the body on the showroom floor. Tires: limit the number per car, per weekend. Safety: full set of safety rules.
And now for my pet peeves about NASCAR; Limit the number of yellow flag pit stops per car, per race, make them pit under green. Immediately go back to green as soon as the "debris" has been removed from the track. Get rid of that stupid lucky dog rule. In other words; make 'em race instead of playing follow the leader for 195 of a 200 lap race. Of course this will never happen as they won't have time to run all of the commercials on TV.
