Front left nose?

Let them build. Let them create. Let them go faster than hell 👍👍👍

Why do you call them racecars. What car do they look like?

The problem with the current late model is it needs "clear air" because they are sooooo aero dependent. If they lose air from someone sliding up in front of them, the trailing car loses steering. On TV you cannot see how out of control the bodies are, look at 1 head on from the front at deck level. The sloped deck is a huge issue with the @$$ end up in the air with the suspension. Take the rake out of the deck would help a bunch I think.

You could fix them and a fan in the stands could tell little difference. And guys could fit one in a regular enclosed trailer without disassembly.

You could flatten the whole body at 37” deck height and take all that downforce away and change the look of the car from the bleachers very little.

Man, just look at Davenports car when he gets into traffic. It will not handle.

The right front on the 76 tonight is the most ridiculous thing I have seen.

Yep, his was the worst!

I agree with you can wrangle these bodies in and not really lose the “look” everybody likes. The decks look to be more of a wing this year just in photos I’ve seen. I imagine they are pretty fun to load in the trailer with that new right side nose they are running as well

And the whole nose pieces deal was to make them look more like regular cars. Back in 95 when the noses became standard (we went from the wedge sheet metal and 6" or so of plastic at bottom to the stock type noses), they were something like $89 or $99 and only consisted of the 2 half's of the nose. Now you have almost 500.00 worth of nose, batwings, and valances and they resemble nothing

I loved those old stock nose pieces like the 95 Mustang nose. The fenders actually bent out of sheet metal and they just looked darn good. I thought the Probe nose from 94 was pretty good looking too.

Those were killed to save racing. These cars are actually worse. Your post brings back that nothing was learned from past failures.

100% correct, wasn’t that decision done by UMP?

[buster83]

the speeds today are slower than mid 80's when noses were closer to ground.

You are kidding, right?

Yes, ump brought the smaller cars into the rulebook.
