Not saying that there isn't some type of cheating going on in every garage, but think I would have picked something a little more hidden. When they drop those templates on, it sure makes it easy to spot anything wrong there.

 

N.A.S.C.A.R.= Not Any Stock Cars Are Racing. As far as Toyota or any other manufacturers coming in ,what difference does it make? Other than the cylinder block, cylinder head and front end sheet metal the rest of the cars are pretty much the same old aftermarket parts anyway. I know a lot of people who have converted over to Proffessional wrestling for some "real" excitement. I don't see why Nascar doesn't just combine in demolition derby rules and then they wouldn't have to penalize anyone for rough driving. Hey it's somewhat worked this way at Bristol for years now. Most people go hoping to see a crash anyway. I'm real suprised that the money hungry management of Nascar hasn't thought of this yet. I'll probably be kicking myself for not patenting the idea, but that's just the way it goes. After seeing the changes made by Nascar over the last 25 or so years it just isn't entertaining to me anymore.

 

Just what are the NASCAR rules regarding front wheel drive?

 

It's one just like many others that have been changed over the years. Used to be that only RWD cars could be used. Then Nascar made a change to allow GM to use the Monte Carlo, which at that time was smaller and FWD. The cars on the track are not FWD, just based on production car body styles which are FWD in thier"stock" form. Ford and Dodge followed suit in the years to come with the Taurus and Intrepid respectively, which are both FWD production cars also. If you go back and research Nascar's history you will find they change the rules to please whom they please at any given time without warning. When they started making rule changes during the middle of the season several years ago, I had had enough and decided that I would no longer support them by buying tickets. Haven't had any regrets yet either.
