Rollbar: Definitely safety
Cages: Again safety Seatbelts: Obviously safety Cell phones: Obvious improvement of communication but phones haven't basically changed since Alexander Graham Bell. Microwaves: Improvement, speed in cooking Cage panels on sprint cars and midgets: ????????????????????????????? |

This opinion is from a person who would validate "traction control" if he could market it constantly on this very board and make a buck off of it!

Yes, I understand your point, but I haven't read one post on here EVER from a FAN, and I say FAN because they are the observers and paying customers, who likes these panels. If you can find one, please post it. If you're a business man and no one likes your product, you won't be in business very long. Once again, would the fans come forward, please, who wanted these panels??? If there aren't any, then the midget and sprint organizations made a bad decision in the first place and proves my point about the total disregard for what the fans like and don't like. Maybe this is the basis for why open wheel racing is in trouble. Is it standing room only at your local or national track?? If not, why not?? Just one small piece of the problem. Do the racing organizations actually understand what the fans want??? Are they busting down the gates to see these panels??

1. The 1050 lb weight rule. A great move. 2. Addressing engine costs. Again a great move. From what I heard on the interview with D.O., he would like to bring the engine costs down to something around $12,000 with more longevity and bring purses in line with the costs of operating a midget team. Well, hurray again. Now.. the third part of the puzzle has not been addressed and that is tires. Not happy about that but maybe he'll surprise us and come up with something that's earth shaking. |

I don't like all the panel work. If I wanted to see dirt track late models, that's what I'd go see. It isn't a safety issue, it is a MONEY issue. The more advertising space you have, the more product you can advertise. I just hope it works, because once you start turning off fans, it is hard to get them back. Ask Nascrap with their cookie cutters. I could have thrown a grenade in the stands last week at Cali, and not hurt anyone.

As for arm restraints not always keeping arms in the car, if they were worn properly they would I believe that they are to be worn below the elbow which in teh situation of a flip would hold the arms in the car. On custom driving suits when arm restraints are made in, they are put between the wrist and elbow so why do guys even where them if they where them above the elbow, doesnt do much good keeping the arms in does it???
