Get rid of restrictor plates. Is it really racing when everyone goes the same speed!!

Bring back bias ply tires. The radials, along with aero dependancy, has killed the racing.

I'll always be a Nascar fan, but my true love is Sprint Cars. There's NOTHING like standing on the infield fence in turn 3 at Knoxville and watching Steve Kinser and others drive it into the corner without lifting.

I think that Nascar(Or someone with some imagination) should sanction races with Superbirds, Talladega Torinos and what ever GM had back in the day. I am not saying run old cars, run new ones. with the fab skills out there now it would be a non issue. Big blocks, Hemi's, no restrictor plates, modern tires and brakes and let the games begin.

once the challenger and the new camaro hit, I'd like to see modern trans am racing. Old school style simple paint schemes.

I have been along time fan but like many others I have some huge issues with the current sport.

1. Qualifying...............race to race..............simple, to send cars home with good drivers just because a OLD champ wants in..........tuff titty..............owners points.................it's a joke................

2. The car of tomorrow, no one likes it..................it's a joke on so many levels.................if it's so much safer, why not transfer those safety features into the current cars ? They want the cars to be more equal, why don't they just build the cars, drivers pick up their car, qualify and turn it back in till race day then they can borrow the car again to race...................boring.............

3. Rules................it's a joke...........race to the yellow.......don't race to the yellow................the exceptions are a joke.............

4. Truck and Busch................what the hell is going on with letting cup drivers in..................they have Nextel.......................grow the sport and create their own hero's and champions...............why do they think they can't fill the fields in these two leagues.................well if someone has a bit of money and puts together a team, why would they want to lose their money and race against cup drivers and lose every week..................how many cup drivers were in the top 10 at the last two Busch races...............

Thats my rant.................
