Title:
A few things to think about...
Vegas, baby!
What have we done? I think created a monster. Greg Biffle dislocated his shoulder during a late season test at Vegas last year, the car got away from him and met the wall. That happened to him twice more during last week's Cup test. Rookie Almendinger (I'm sure the spelling is way off) destroyed two of his cars. Various other teams reported the cars just getting away from them resulting in dings, dents and bent frames.
Granted, given two seconds drivers will complain about any track they drive on...but the squalling is especially loud right now. The track has tons of grip and the newly configured banking allows high speeds. Speeds higher then Daytona. (Yikes!)
Oh yeah, I'm sure the March race will be incredible...and dangerous. Will this be better? Tune in again to find out...
Best wishes to the driver of the #6 hauler that was in a wreck on its way home to Charlotte. Quite a bit of carnage, there. The rig is done, but the trailer looked OK. That can't be said for the RV it ran over or the tractor trailer in front of the RV or the one in front of that! Anyway, I hope everybody's injuries heal.
COT...I'm liking the changes. I really am! Maybe I'm being sucked in by the Ad campaign that Larry Mac is pushing, but hey! Lots of new aero surfaces, the dam in the front, the wing with its interchangeable panels...and if I'm not mistaken, bump stops will return.
Something my husband commented on...the years that nobody could catch JG were the years of the bumpstops. As soon as those were outlawed, the #24 program got iffy.
See? It's just a new set of variables the teams will have to play with. Can't tweak it there, so we'll push it here. Fun stuff!
Points systems for the Chase...I'm not a huge fan of this. The double bonuses for the wins. The reset of the points where you could have a bunch of people tied and first place going in means nothing. Granted, it might encourage consummate points racers to stand up and go for the win, but I don't think it'll make drivers like Kenseth anymore interesting to watch.
That's all for now  Catch ya'll later! |
