Aren't late model roofs supposed to be "flat" still....

Recently I've been seeing Mark Martin appear on a bunch of podcasts and places and he is strongly voicing his opinions on what he sees as big culprit of not so great racing in NASCAR. The one thing I hear him consistently harp about is - they need to get rid of down force. They need to especially get back to the days of when they had something like a neutral front down force like back in the late 80s early 90s . Too much front down force is making it harder to pass and taking too much driving out of the driver's hands and it is stinking up the show, especially with the newest version of cars they have.

Boy, doesn't that sound familiar? Too hard to pass, especially when you lose the front down force.

Not saying I'd want to see dirt supers look anything like Cup cars. No, not at all. Just saying there is something in the concept that a really good former driver recognizes and many of us have also been recognizing.

The 1984 NDRA small body that saved super late model racing when it was on the sharp decline had a 35” deck height that did not lift and a 72 inch with across the entire car plus the cars were symmetrical. No elephant ear concave nosepieces. These cars need to go back to that.
