CUP cars Fuel Injected ??

[snaggeltooth]

Yes that right CUP cars to get fuel injection in 2011 .. No more carbs..

Good move bad move ??

I heard about that a couple of months ago, just another wrench in the program.
I also heard that they could use a corn-based ethanol blend by 2011

I saw a story about it on the Speed Report .. I think it is a good thing ...

Cant hurt it, NASCAR has been on the downfall for quite some time now.

I won't get into the whole "stock" car part of stock-car-racing but nobody's made a DOT approved car fueled by a carb in what, two decades?

Was the Jeep Grand Wagoneer in 1991 the last one?

OK as far as the Stock part .. It referes to STOCK apearing .. as in not a Indy car, not a Sprint car .. not a car like a Modified car ...

And like I have said before it is time for the CUP cars to get off the fence and get up to date in tech and other parts of their racing ...

NASCAR needs to quit regulating everything and let the teams race. Anything goes as long as the safety equipment is up to snuff.

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the driver's have to use a certain toilet paper or face a fine.

Gives the pansy drivers one less excuse, or way to pass the blame to mechanics.

Was watching SPEED last night .. They were saying going back to spoiler , insted of wing, will benifit the Ford cars more .. Dont ask why I dont know .. Now do you think the Chevy drivers will be complaining if that happens ??

I thought the bodies were all the same, they have that metal frame dealy they use to check them.

On that NASCAR should do what some other series , ROLEX, does and have like 4 bodies that can be made , drop the sheetmetal and go with carbon fiber.. Thats why I say CUP stays on the fence as far as tech ....

Oh, I thought they were fiberglass for some reason. No rpm and gearing limits would be interesting. Spin it too fast to make power and it might just pop in a 500 mile race running closed windows and reverting to spoilers would be interesting aswell

adding right hand turns and reducing the number of laps would certainly get my vote for making it more appealing. there's few things i can stand less than five-hundred-friggin-miles...of rednecks chasing each other in left hand only turns.

I really dont see why they dont have a AMain-B Main-LCQ- the the Feature .. would make the racing lots more interesting ..

That's why I only watch about the last 20 minutes of each race.... IF I'm not on the lake and happen to be near a t.v.

From what Tony Stewart said, around the time of the season opening Daytona Race, ALL cars are aerodynamically the same
