Enjoy Nascar, but my favourite has always been the local short tracks in my area. Future Nascar possibilities, guys running on a budget, doing amazing things with some luck and the ingenuity and skills that they have.

I liked it better before restrictor plates. Didn't need any help to pass. Now it takes 3 cars hooked up to run fast. Sometimes its a bit boring.

Re: Restrictor plates:

Don,t you find it incredible that with the restrictor plates these guys STILL keep comming up with a bit more HP all the time??

This is a science for sure i,m in awe of the engine builders that can put engines together that will run for hours at 8-9000 RPM.

Did you ever see Bill Elliott go 212 mph? can't do that with a plate.

Kyle is the bad boy of NASCAR. I am also a fan of his. He is a great driver.

I would like to see them get rid of restrictor plates. then on any road coarse do not have rain delays, let them add windshield wipers and rain tires and race on.

They tried this in the Nationwide series a few years ago in Montreal, if I remember right the wipers had problems at speed, and the inside of the windshield kept fogging up. Before that Dale Earnhardt went out during a rain storm on some Good Year rain tires, he said it would be nuts to try and race in the rain.
