If they had a square tank, it would look almost like the old supers that ran at Plymouth and South Bend that dad used to take to watch back in the early 70s. Now I know in sprint car's, the horse is way too far out of the barn to make a call for change, but I think we should call for a revolution for the silver crown cars that there's no body work above the driver's sight line over the hood. I'm not asking for cars to look like the Kurtz 30 or the Delrose 12, but let's keep it so us fans can at least see their helmets! Anyone else up for a revolt?
I agree with you. Some may argue for visibility, but thats kinda tongue and cheek, its about aero. The more surface area you can face into the wind, the faster you go. Simple as that. I like a cleaner look myself and being able to exit the car on the left side if need be.
