car of tommarow

i dont know if there are many NASCAR fans on here but if u r wuts ur opinion about the new (safer) cars that are being raced today

[tipptruck1]

I hate it. I know nascar did this for saftey but come on. From what I heard the front end has less drag then the old front ends. Also in the old cars the fenders could be tweaked. They can't even mess with this fenders on the new cars. Form What I learned about drag and speed you need them both to handle a car at 200 mph. Whats going to happen when they take this car to a 2 mile plus track? I see a bunch of cars geting in a wreck. I guess this car is aslo going to group up the cars also. Iam sure the drivers don't like that. Whats going to happen when they bump draft with the new front end? I see it falling off and the guys geting a wreck. I think bristol was the wrong place to show it off. All you have to do is surive the race. But now the postive. The cars are looking more like there street counter parts. The bigger window is safer for the drivers. But other then them two things I will give it a D- needs work.

Well, i'm no racing expert.

But Kyle Bush said after he won the race.  "These cars are terrible, they suck"

I think it was Tony Stewart that said that driving the COT is like driving a brick with wheels.

The next 15 COT races should be interesting.  I am anticipating the fall Talledega race quite a bit.

Give them these 16 COT races this season and they should get a lot of the bugs worked out.

The weeks leading up to the race NASCAR was so happy with the cot that they said it might be in every race next year. That was premature since they hadnt even raced in an actual race with one. I think it is a bad idea. If it aint broke...

Well over the next few years this will become the new car. I guess that there going to switch to it all all tracks in a few years. So no matter what we got to get use to it like we did calling it nextel. I still call it winston cup and refuse to call it nextel cup. Just like I don't watch the last ten races thats the biggest joke there ever was. Now I hear nextal/sprint is not allowing robby gordon put a motorola cell phone sticker on his car. but this all started a few weeks back when at&t wanted to put a small logo on the cingular car. Do to this at&t is now sueing them and nascar. What happend to the good old days. rember back in the early 90s there were at least 5 cars racing that had a tabacco company as a sponsor. Did winston care? no I bet they loved the comption. But over the last few years nascar has been ticking me off. I hate this green white checker crap. I didn't care if the race finshed under the yellow. I rember that the races finshing under the yellow a few times a year. Now it seems like every race finshes under a green white checker. It also seems like there more yellow flags the last few years. I could see calling a yellow flag for a part of a bumper. But some of these things that they call a yellow for is a joke. I think the tv companys have a lot to do with that. But Iam glad that I can watch Irl, la mans, f1, and other types of racing. So intill nascar changes more towards the good there going to lose me as a fan.

Watched the first thirty minutes of the race and was so bored I went turkey scouting.  I really hope they get better.
