    Well i guess we have to get used to it.  Since one thing is for
sure, is that Nascar doesn't want to increase the risks of drivers
getting injured or killed.  That is the only reason they are reducing
speed.  But after what i saw last season where the cars were bunched up
and the drivers had to be extra careful to not hit each other.  And when
a driver did loose control of his car that is caused a major chain
reaction.  Also i heared of news about german cars in the country of
germany.  Where they can go as fast on those highways as they want.  And
i think they did a study stating that there were less accidents and
death on the highways on the high speeding cars that drove fast.  So
maybe there is truth that the fast the nascar race cars go, the risks
go down.  And the slower the cars go the risks go up.  It might be
something that Nascar could study on.

   Yep that sure does seem to be a large difference.  So Indy is the
oldest and Daytona as you said is the teenager.  But, say another 100
years that Nascar raced on the famous race track of indianapolis.  That
it would be 100 years of nascar racing at indy.  And double i bet the
age of daytona.

          Subject: Daytona Testing
Personally, I'd rather see good, close racing that the high speeds. I thing
most real race fans would as well.
Unfortunately, in both Indy car and NASCAR not to many years ago, most races
were of the "ho-hum" kind as a few teams dominated every race. Now however,
races are much closer than ever before and really showcase the driver's
ability and team strategy more than sheer speed.
Yes, everyone was anxious to see the first Indy qualifier over 150 MPH,
then 175 MPH became the "magic number", then 200, now 230 MPH. Same for
NASCAR at Daytona and yes, that's is exciting however, what kind of race
would we have if ALL cars at Daytona were running 200+ MPH! We would
spend more time watching wreckers and cleanup crews do their thing, than
we would watching excellent racing.
As a follower of both Indy & NASCAR racing for over 30 years, the racing
now is closer and, in my opinion better, than at anytime in our past.
Just my 2 cents worth.....

I'm still up in the air on this subject.  I can't decide if
the freight train, boat race aspects of the current mix is
good racing or not.  I almost favor the Busch rules as it
seems to allow more mixing it up action.  The WC cars really
hardly dare get outside the draft.  Personally, I find it less
exciting and I hope that NASCAR can hold enough knowledgable
fans that appreciate the tactical end of things and don't need
the constant action to hold their attention.  The public
interest is a fickle thing!

,
 Yes now I remember now Ric Johnson filled me in on this a long time ago
 and forgot, we call them motorkana's.  The domain of Mini
 Coopers and small sports cars Healey sprites etc.  We do have long wheel
 base classes but they are not all that popular due to the fact
 everybody wants to be FTD so a small vehicle is a must.  They also
 build specials, mostly front engined front wheel drive with the rear
 wheel very close together.  They are very maneuverable and quick.
 Subaroo is a good base to start with because of the boxer motor is very
 low so the bonnet line is also very low and excellent vision.
