I feel that if they can keep the aerodynamics out of the series and leave the racing up to the drivers and not engineers, this could be an exciting series and truthfully all we as fans want is to see exciting races that leave the racing up to the drivers.
ATTENTION SC96, THIS IS A NON NEGATIVE POST
I feel the negativity is more along the lines that these things were shoved down people's thorats when they were labeled New Generation Silver Crown cars. When they were introduced, USAC forced out the original pavement cars and put these in their place. That power pull alienated alot of fans and a few car owners against the cars and USAC. Also, negativity stems from people seeing how these things failed before and a few people emphatically saying these will be a success now.
