Wood Bros and Ford With Daytona 500

[ZOERA-SC7XX]

Exciting but not a good situation when a driver must depend on a 'back seat driver' to push him into the lead. I'd much rather see a thirty car pack, at least the best cars would run to the front. Restrictor plate racing at its worst. That being said, the non racing fan must have loved all the crashes.

Have to agree to toss the restrictor plate and let them race like the cars of the early and mid 70s. Boy it was awesome hearing those big Hemi's and Boss 429s screaming down the straights at Daytona and Tallegada.....those were the days of real NASCAR racing!!!!

Looked a lot like the Bithlo, Fl. "Trailer races"...

Besides, tomorrow NASCAR will declare all Fords are to have 1200 pounds added to them and THE DRIVERS OF SAME ARE TO START TWENTY LAPS BACK.....

There was a time when NASCAR WAS relevant, sadly, that time has passed and now most any SCCA or NASA event will have better competition......at least real people racing real cars without the WWE control.

Next years rules will require better hitches for the "tow" car to control the "pusher"car and will allow elimination of the second, redundant driver who will now be an extra crewman allowed over the wall to clean sponsor decals and shine the paint.

Hitch 2 together and run in a figure 8 like the demolition derby stuff. I doubt there'd be more wrecks though.
