    SLM racing has pretty much sucked this year.

      The couple heats I watched here earlier were a freight train.

      I went and watched the Bristol Truck race. Timed out pretty well.

        Get rid of the laid back nose pieces. They're starting to resemble the wedge cars.

          Interesting interview at Eldora were Overton blamed the poor racing on the tires (LM30) used this year as opposed to the aero issue. A tire that gives out would only mask the areo issues IMO but I'm certainly no expert and in no position to question Brandon's comments. Is good to see him bringing up the fact that something needs to be done.

            People like to blame not changing the noses on the body part manufacturers, but the reality is new less aerodynamic noses would make them even more money because literally every late model would have to buy one and probably at least one spare.

              Cut the rear spoiler down to one inch height. That would make a huge difference.

                That would ruin the looks of the car though.

                    Tmac basically said the same thing. He said the 30's just dont give up near as much as the 20's!

                      Would closing the sail panels help?

                        LOL Starting to resemble the wedge cars? I coined the name modern day wedge when describing Dirt Late Models at least 10-15 years ago. Nobody wanted to listen though.

                          Better get use to it. As long as drivers & fans continue to support the people that could change it nothing will change

                              car counts keep going down and local tracks keep dropping lates as a weekly show. less and less lates. when lucas or woo shows can barely make 3 heats and no consies, will fans continue to pay $30 or more dollars to watch? it would seem like the different series would get together with some ideas to try to avoid the complete death of late model racing.
