it's no fun anymore.......

I used to love "stock car" racing. Now all the cars look alike, there's no "creativity" allowed, etc. Used to be the guy who figured out how to make his car go the fastest won, if he didn't break. Now? Let's all be politically correct, all the same, and oh, watch your mouth. :nonod:

:withstupid:

 

Not to mention, this happened on PRE-RACE INSPECTION. They used the WRONG brackets. There were 2 different styles that were being tested at one point, and they used the wrong ones. Now, if it were caught AFTER the race, I could see that maybe a fine would be in order. However, the brackets are mounted externally, where EVERYONE can see them (I truly believe they didn't know any better), and they were caught before the race was even started. Send him to the back of the pack, maybe, but $100k?

 

I think they're trying to make an example. They also don't like the Nascar world to be 'rippled'. He made BIG news the week before, and they're letting him know that he's not 'above the law.'

 

The cars are almost identical. They're trying to make everyone run the same. So, as to make the race more competitive. Otherwise, Chevrolet would be disqualified... Kinda like bringing a Jet boat to a canoe race. :D
