If pit road speed was a safety issue, we would have speed limiters....and while I am at it, if safety was a concern we would have tire pressure sensors/monitors....and while I am still at it, how about we through in gas gauges......cuz NASCAR?

You finally made it. cuz Nascar. Go watch something else if you are having a problem. Your ideas of improvement aren't Nascar's it is as simple as that. Nobody in any racing series do pit stops as well as Nascar. The damaged midgets at the Chili Bowl get close, but nobody holds a candle to how much skill it takes to execute a pit stop than they do in Nascar.

It's auto racing. It's inherently dangerous. There's an ever-shifting balance between safety and entertainment. All activities include a measure of danger; only the degree differs.

I assumed you're old enough to already know that, but I can't explain why you trotted out a reductio ad absurdum response.

Could have saved a ton on SAFER barriers....because of the inherent danger......and you're right, why bother with the ole contact patches? Dale Jr. Line 1. Thanks for the Latin....took me back to things I don't care about.

Might as well ask why open wheel series don't run fenders, or why sports cars don't run single classes. Safer, maybe more efficient, but that's not what they're about.

You are aware that Indy Car kind of does....to prevent them from getting airborne.....reduced that inherent danger thing which killed Wheldon......which is sad, and not great for the sport.....but you go kid.

I'll be just fine with it unless they start running multiple classes in the same race. It could affect the GT classes in IMSA possibly, Trans Am also. It could be a fairly easy step over to Nascar if they decide to go forward with it.

Could only do it at a big track. Let's make it a big race. Future Daytona 500 with 30 cars/trucks each from each of the 3 national series at once. Lets break some Wrecords :bazooka:-_-:lurk:
 
I know its getting way off topic, but I always thought an exhibition race with the top 10 from the top 3 series on the track at the same time would be cool

Maybe kind of like an Iron since some say they are moving that anyway. Some also say the championship 4 should only race each other.

Make the finale a combined event, one race consisting of all 3 championships. The championship 4 from each series is in, and that's it.
12 cars. Settle it all. It would be great for showcasing rising stars competing with the champions etc.

I could take that as an exhibition race, but I'll never be a fan of a winner take all championship race

Indeed, I read one of the reasons for the Honda / Nissan merger was to improve hybrid and EV development.
