awe come on cap'n. the evil france empire has forced some pretty amazing saftey measures on the tracks to save them pretty boys from gettin hurt. they can't be all that bad.

Oh, really? Take a look at this: "Some critics insist that the drivers have to police themselves in order to end the practice, but that's a fundamentally flawed theory. As Dr. Bud once memorably said, "Drivers would race through a shit storm for twinkies if it came right down to it" - and that is the truth. No, the responsibility lies with NASCAR, which means that nothing will get done until the situation is untenable, or somebody gets seriously injured - or killed. After all, we're talking about an entity that makes congress seem decisive and proactive. You only have to look at NASCAR's track record when it comes to using unleaded racing fuel to get an idea of the pace of NASCAR's decision making (or lack thereof). The idea of using unleaded fuel surfaced many, many years ago, but NASCAR has consistently dragged its feet on the subject up until about five years ago. Then, after exhaustively testing the fuel, NASCAR has finally announced that it will incorporate it into all of its divisions - beginning in 2008. And that's just one example.

No, the onus is on NASCAR to end the lurid practice of bump-drafting. They need to take the kind of dramatic steps I've been suggesting for years, which are, 1. Dramatically cut the size of their engines to no more than 2.5 liters and, 2. Pull the restrictor-plates off of the cars. It will mean much less horsepower, but it will put a large measure of control back in the drivers' hands.

It took Dale Earnhardt's death at Daytona five years ago to force NASCAR to finally mandate driver safety equipment that had been common in other racing series for years."
That's from today's issue of Autoextremist.com.
