That is a matter of opinion not supported by the numbers. Seems like they tried a different package every year for awhile to try to improve the numbers at Michigan. high HP high D/F, high HP low D/f force, aero this and that. So bad at California it isn't there anymore.
Besides most of them choose as a strategy to ride around on plate tracks until fairly late in the last stage before making their moves unless a small group get sparky and start pushing and shoving to get to the front earlier than all bets are off.
For the record, I want them removed from ALL races. My desire has nothing to do with fuel saving at superspeedways, since we all know I'd like pack racing to go away too.
And then you will get to complain about the races being covered up by full screen commercials and all the "while we were away".
You've mistaken me for other RF members. I'm the one who used to post about how much yard work I was getting done in 2.5 minute bursts, remember? I'm the one who has always acknowledged that the bills have to be paid. I'm still grateful we get live, complete coverage of every race, not an edited two hours on Wide World three weeks later.
One of these days you will figure it out you can't have it both ways. You either get while we were away starring Jacques debris, or maddeningly long stage cautions for commercials.
I've never objected to what was missed during full screen ads. I have always understood the trade-offs, including the effects on strategies. I get that you don't agree with my preference but it HAS been my preference since the first season with scheduled cautions.
