As explained time and time again, everything on the COT is functional(besides the stickers, headlights and tailights)....If it wasn't functional then why did it take place of their old wing......I bet you if you drove the COT at talladega with the wing then without the wing, I'm pretty sure you'd be begging for that wing to be back on......

That doesn't mean that the winged COT is better on the superspeedways than the old aero package with lip spoiler was.
A big reason they switched to the adjustable wing is so that on the road courses they can just dial more rake in the wing and run the same cars that just go left. Previously teams that ran the road courses had to have 2 chassis's.

Instead of hitting a curb, i would just like to see the thing turn at 5mph. It would flip
Then again, i doubt its even street legal because its not exactly safe for pedestrians and other motorists

I'd love to see those homey's get in that.
I submit my previous post again... Whether it helps or not it ain't gonna make a difference when you have drivers that intentionally head toward anything but the track...
BTW, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't know the difference and that's why they haven't been begging because how long has Nascrap been around?? Hmm... yeah.

Sorry to tell you this, but beauty doesn't win races.
Skill, talent, and support are what win races. That spoiler supports the car's aerodynamics, which help it in situations when it's needed most.

A racecar doesn't need to be visually pleasing to be a racecar.....Even if it's butt ugly yet everything is functional then it is a racecar, not rice but a functional racecar built for a purpose. Racecars aren't supposed to win beauty contests, I'm suprised some people haven't figured that out yet.....
That's like saying the Audi S1 Pikes peak car is ricey because of it's large rediculous looking wings.
Wrong, the car has those wings with the sole reason of aerodynamic purposes and not to win beauty contests. It's fully functional, and works. Therefore is nowhere near rice.
I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one.
DWA, you don't seem to give Nascar any sort of respect. I'd like to see you run over 180mph with 42 other car's less than an inch beside infront and behind you without embarassing yourself. Just because they mostly drive in an oval at high speed for over 2 hours doesn't exactly make it a walk in the park or take no skill. Nascar racing takes a different skill then most race series but in no way is it harder or easier than others. In my opinion every form of motorsport is even and in no way better or worse than each other, I find it sad that some people just don't give any sport for that matter the respect it deserves because it doesn't interests them.

I would actually go as far to say it's harder than other forms of auto racing. Even though I'm nowhere near biased towards NASCAR. The cars are sooooo close to each other in performance that edging out one another is extremely hard to do. Also, the cars are much closer together and even the slightest error can take you from 1st to 15th, if not worse, in less than half a lap. It's not just a Sunday drive around an oval people.
The differences and similarities between the cars are no different from any racing series that requires all cars to follow strict specification guidelines.
GT and moto racing can be just as close, and closeness in these series is much more hazardous, and more taxing on the drivers.
Have you ever watched WRC?

^^See that? that's how you make an argument.^^
I'm less displeased wiht the fact DWA doesn't like NASCAR, and more displeased that he decides to use crude language and attempts to offend over it. Like I'm stupid for liking stock car racing.

Sorry you feel that way... I could start to sound racist or something if I let you know how I really felt about Nascrap... It's just not gonna happen. They're going in a ****ing circle and go everywhere but on the track... People call this crap racing... I have more respect for IRL only because they actually stay on the track. No amount of technical specs is gonna change the way these morons race...
Yeah... I could see how it comes off that way and well, I really can't disagree but it isn't at the fans it's pretty much Nascrap as a whole considering themselves racing.

I fail to see how NASCAR is different from, say, V8 Supercar. Similar spec and size. I see only three differences.
1. The race tracks. V8s run on road courses. NASCAR runs on ovals.
2. The V8s are lighter, but have less power.
3. The V8s make more downforce, but I'd still consider them "low-downforce" cars. and I could be wrong about that, too with the body-and-spoiler cars.
I've seen the big Tourers run off track almost as often as the Stockers. Hey, I'd wish NASCAR would utilize a few road courses, too. Perhaps we should trade one season. We have the V8s run Darlington, while the Cup boys run Bathurst. (of course, both would run their respective normal season races)
The point is, we Americans are a bit rougher around the edges than you Europeans, so our form of Touring Car Racing is a little less...advanced...in your view, because the majority of turns are left.
Toruing cars have had their share of punts, too.
Warning, rude gesture.

No different maybe. But the ones saying NASCAR is "easy" or "takes no skill." is retarded. This is the point I was trying to make. It's not a walk in the park so to say. While some if not most of you "hate" NASCAR that's fine. Maybe it's not for you. That doesn't mean you have to degrade it as a motor sport. There's plenty of other forms that run on ovals. Do you hate those too? And yes, I've seen WRC.
