Most boring season of SLM racing I can remember…

[play4kps]

Crossbones, I agree to some extent about the Bloomquist domination years, but if you remember 2-5 could have been 40 different cars, now its 6 to 8 cars and the rest. Paradox you are right, the problem is if you watch 49.76, or 44 they look like they are on a rail, especially Davenports car, I know Davenport is a great driver, but it just looks like something just aint right about that car. If you watch Pierce, Rice, TMac, Hudson and others, those cars are on the brink of wrecking lap after lap, Davenports car looks like a dream to drive. The only other car out there that looks that smooth is the 22 car of Ferguson.

I'm not saying that aero isn't a problem but I do find it funny that we say the late models are too aero dependent and the racing suffers and WoO sprint cars are the most aero dependent cars on dirt and they are always exciting. I think its a combination of everyone essentially being on the same equipment..tracks that are too big and so "smooth" and dry by feature time that theres nothing to challenge the drivers and aero bodies.

I gotta disagree. Those cars are fast, but they don't race. Wingless sprints race way better.

Honestly, how many races have ever been really good at Eldora? You can count them on your hand. Short track bullring races are way better. Watching push truck push sprint cars to start only to have them flip and do it all over again is exciting? No thanks!

Wanna penalize the whole field because a few cars 49,44,76 have it figured out?

Tell the others to get to work!

I'm pretty sure no one is asking that. But actually, that's the way they have been doing rules since 2015 or earlier.

Go watch the highlights of WOO sprints from Silver Dollar last night. Pretty good stuff.

Agree, but now the cats outa the bag, no putting it back!

More rules are just gonna cost the avg racer more money!

There's nothing out of the bag. The problem is the tape measure stays in the bag and mfgs are trying to make faster noses and roofs, not legal ones.

If we're talking about penalizing people..then pretty much every car save maybe 2 or 3 at a national event would be penalized for a body out of specs. The problem isn't more rules..its enforcing rules!and Mastersbilt..I agree that wingless sprints are my favorite kind of sprints..those guys go balls to the wall

Wingless Sprints rock. A fix for tracks like Eldora is get rid of a lot of the banking, That would eliminate this pretty quickly. Speed does not make a race. Davenport, Fairbury, and Lucas Oil are more about racing skill than than a perfect car. Remember a few years ago Bloomquist was quoting at Eldora, its all about the car. He wasnt wrong.

[play4kps]

Lets also be real here, there is a good chance nothing changes because the reason for Aero and other things are sponsors of dirt on dirt, Flo, WOO, Lucas Oil series, Dirtvision and Eldora. They would have to be fools to turn off the money spicket. Until they see less fans, fewer online subscriptions, nothing will change.

Formula one figured out Aero Push. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/wh...work/10307184/

When almost every driver that wins a race talks about important it is to get out front in clean air, you know you’ve got a aero problem in SLM racing.

Get DRS. Open up rear spoiler with a switch on straight away. DRS = drag reduction system.

Anyone see what happened to Chilton last night with no spoiler? He went from possibly fastest car in the b to the slowest.
