Up until the early nineties there may have been five or six cars capable of winning most races, Now it goes deep into the B main at most races, Especially in sprint week. Now the cars are so even, If theres someone getting two tenths faster times than the the others, Thats driver. Going equal speeds, the only way to pass is a shorter route.|
Personally I see nothing wrong with a slide job, Provided it has a reasonable chance of *CLEARING* Like someone else posted, Midget culture. Hey, If I slide to the point my RR is at their Left NERF and they don['t lift, IT's' THEIR FAULT............Because I made the pass. *NO YOU DIDN'T* However I see the guys who race against each other all the time know thats whats happening and burp the throttle to let them pass, and cut back under em. Often several laps in a row.
It's not a cheap sport, Not by a long shot, I bet a competitive USAC winning car cost about a hundred grand now. Eats a couple grand in tire an motor wear every night and probably cost a grand in crew haul and lodging per night. Some owners say if they wad it up because they were going forward and racing hard. That's racing. MOST OWNERS say. Well its going to be awhile before we can hit the track again. *IF WE HIT THE TRACK AGAIN*
Don't know the answer, But the Knuckle sandwich used to be quite effective.
