I am now curious. I attended the ARCA race and there were no tandems, just the typical long train drafting. Maybe they didn't get enough practice time to figure out it would be faster.

Ignorant men marvel at extraordinary things. Intelligent men admire simple things.
Totally different spec cars. ARCA cars have the Cup body specs pre COT. Long train runnin' is what they did back then too.Originally Posted by cbreez99

I didn't read all the pages, but the problem was the redesign of the car bodies in the off season. NASCAR missed the mark, and I would expect they will have to do something very soon to correct the problem. OK to watch once, but wouldn't want to see it again. Wasn't real racing to me, cause of too many crashes, and didn't allow a single car to play "Chess" to make moves thru the field.
Life time car nut, older than dirt, but never did that.
AFAIK, there wasn't a significant body change over the winter for Cup cars. The fascias are molded in one piece, but the aero package works the same. The big difference is the pavement at Daytona.
The fans should be the absolute last people considered on any decision that could effect a participant. Doc Austin
Lying was a no-brainer for me. Robin Miller
"I thought they booed [Danica] because she was being a complete jerk, but then they applauded for A.J. Foyt. Now I'm just confused."
Random question. I was picturing a potential "swap" happening by first deciding who goes high who goes low, then the spotters counting down in unison 3, 2, 1, GO!
Is there a reason that physically wouldn't work (other than people thinking it sounds silly)?
If you're not a fan of the series, you shouldn't post in the TF forum dedicated to that series.Right...Back in the 80's and '90's the car on the pole was 20MPH faster than the guy on the bubble and lapped the entire field... now THAT is exciting racing... NOT!!!
As far as the na*car two car tandems (of course there are two-cars - two make a tandem) of course it is stupid... it's a circus aka nascar, what do you expect? I hope I don't get in trouble for knocking another series, but I REALLY do think it looks stupid. Sorry...
We don't want series bashing done anywhere at TF, but the appropriate place for inter-series comparisons / discusisons is in the Racing Biz forum.
"The series may be hesitant to say it, but the day is here for everybody that loves IndyCar racing to link arms and help each other out. Anybody who doesn’t want to do that needs to find something else to do with their time.”
