That and with a faster race, that means less time to drink less beer.

I just wish they would quit mandating a new spec every year, and get rid of a bunch of the details for the 500....it would be really cool if some short track guy could go hustle up enough money to buy a 3 year old car, throw whatever engine he could find in it, and make a qualifying attempt...like it used to be...that can never happen if they make everybody use the new spec chassis every year or 2 and obsolete the previous years car.

As for the car they have now, I do feel that it has created some really good racing the last year and a half, but it would sure be cool if ever IOW member could throw 100 bucks in a hat and generate enough money for Stanbrough to get in a 4 year old car and take a crack at making the grid.
