This is USAC in the mid 1970's we're talking about here. They had the intellect of Brian France today.

I'm fully game for this.

they would have done the same things

Really? You'd think they'd really be okay with some of the stuff Brian is doing?

Yeah, but what was their reasoning?

I say again: This is USAC in the mid 1970's we're talking about here. Their reasoning couldn't have made much sense, if at all. I think though it had something to do with rear engined domination, but I'm not old enough to see why they did.

EDIT: After doing some research, some drivers couldn't adapt to rear engined sprinters, so that's one theory.

Bill France Jr, yes, Big Bill, no.

Think of how NASCAR was when Big Bill died. Think of everything that's happened since that he never lived to see and never gave his opinion about.

Dave Marcis, Dick Trickle, Sterling Marlin, and Bill Elliot, and Cale Yarborough at Daytona would make an epic race

Someone needs to sue the federal government claiming that the MSA is a violation of freedom of speech.

I hate that you can just swap out a few gears, a couple of cam heads, maybe some other parts and stickers and you've made a Toyota into a Chevy.


I got this far into your post and stopped reading because I commited suicide.

Sorry man, I just don't understand how you could have a problem with people wanting the different manufacturers to actually have different cars on the track.

No, I agree with that, edited it a little. I'm pointing more with the absolute lack of mechanical knowledge whatsoever. Cam heads? Really?

Look, I'm not trying to say I know everything about the internals of the engine, but for Pete's sake, the point was that you don't have to change much in order to make one car change manufacturers. I mean, nitpicking a post for one little point like that is like saying that a woman's body is great except for toenail polish or some bullshit like that. I wasn't trying to be accurate, I was only trying to prove a point.
