So you didn't remember that, eh. 10-4 on you think history is irrelevant. It was a pivotal moment in the King's career and proved Pemberton was a shill early on. Some folks learn from history and mistakes - some don't.

My point was that if you're going to look into the past actions of NASCAR management who have a history as competitors, you're likely to find a ton of unsavory shit on every last one of them.

I didn't get that - thanks. Point taken.

From this FB post, it sounds like driver eligibility rules have been tinkered with due to the Tony Stewart controversy:

Remember that time Mark Martin pulled into the garage and out of the lead coming to the white flag at Bristol?

Hard to believe, but smart, honest, hard-working, and talented people do dumb shit too sometimes.

we DTM now

Why did anybody think this would be a good idea?

No, just no. Fuck off with that shit but I guess they just want more reasons to throw the caution.

I think it looks cool personally…

There is honestly 2 options, in my opinion... pack on a God forsaken amount of downforce, which will probably lead to IndyCar-esque speeds and pack racing on 1.5 mile tracks.

Or cut the downforce in half and let them drive the cars like it used to be.

If it's anything in between those two nothing is going to change.

A weapon to slash tyres?

They are going to test a low-downforce combo (with stickier tires) as the last test of the day, that's the one that I'm hopeful for.

If those get to the point where they are touching someone else's tire... something has already occurred.

So lets add front downforce to help the cars run closer together... even though running close together will keep the air off of the front of the trailing cars, rendering these new things mostly useless, except for the leader.

Wasn't this the big lesson from the original splitter? It becomes useless during close racing. Unless they think with these being further to the side the followers can peek out a little bit.

Just take the damn rear spoiler off

Here's test #2, sweet jesus spoilers.
