We would love to see more changes every race to make short tracks more interesting
We need action not just words
We don’t need enhancements, we need an overhaul to this car! Make bolder changes, what harm is there in trying something to see if it works? Test more horsepower, a different transaxle that requires less shifting, a different tire and wheel size. What you guys have already done isn’t working. Try the obvious solutions instead of AERO that just makes things worse!
Please upload the full race I missed it the other day
They Will, Wait
Best idea to make the short tracks/road courses better:
1. Increase Horsepower Between 800-900 HP
2. No Rear Diffuser
3. Reduce Rear Spoiler Size To 2.5 Inches.
4. Eliminate transaxle, in turn elimating shifting 5. Narrower, grooved tire to reduce grip. 6. Smaller brakes to make cars harder to stop 7. Steel bodies on short tracks only to bring back the bump n’ run and beating and banging.
@@polycube868most of that will never happen, especially the steel bodies.
@@671TechReviews yeah, most likely is NASCAR puts out another half assed package that still doesn’t fix it
I’ll believe it when I actually see both nascar and Goodyear do something. We keep hearing all this talk but we have not seen any major improvements
Same folks that thought “overtime” was a good thing? Yellows for commercial breaks? Yeah, same folks.
Work on adhering to the rules consistently.
HORSEPOWER
We need boots on the ground, not simulator testing. Simulation has its place, but actual hands on live testing can’t be replaced.
Elton says it,but they continuously do nothing about it.
Maybe They Forget That This Is The Next Gens Third Year And They Haven’t Changed Anything
Just make the car harder to drive. How is more horsepower going to be that more dangerous to where they haven’t considered it? A better tire and more horsepower would go along way.
We need more of what ever was put down on the track at Bristol. What ever it was (it wasn’t PJ1 IIRC) it made short track racing more exciting and not a boring, lack of passing race.
They keep talking about tires, but it’s more than just that and NASCAR knows this. It’s annoying when Sawyer doesn’t even mention the car being bad itself.
