What do you think about an off season stock car series?

Question

...Let the drivers take any stock American car made between 1950 and 1980 and let them build their own stock cars with engines lower than 300 c.i. and race them on a few tracks, Maybe have a race every two weeks

...Bring back the Pontiac (Trans Am), the old Mustangs, maybe the 55 Chevys, and the old Plymouth Road Runners (etc). They would have to keep the cars body shape in original non modified shape (exception would be removing lights and things that would leave debris on the track).

...How well do you think this would go over as compaired to Nascar provided the drivers were all current Nascar drivers driving their own personal choice of hotrods?

Answer 1

I wouldnt mind seeing it. I dont know if you could get enough good drivers to do it. Another thing they would have to battle is the weather, they let them use snow chains.

Answer 2

First of all we need a race channel that isn't run by NA$CAR. When that happens then maybe it will be worth the time but trust me on this there are many series around the world that we don't get to see as it is because we have a lame *** race channel called SPEED. What you see today on SPEED is not what made the famous as The Speed Channel. If you were a fan of racing you maybe able to remember when you came home from work and done with dinner or supper you could turn the TV on to the Speed Channel and watch racing. Try it today my friend. What you get now you can find on just about any discovery channel or old movie channel.
I doubt if I would watch it but I am sure there are a bunch of brainwashed NA$CAR fans that would. I am so un into NA$CAR right now but love racing I thought you were going to try some sort of non NASCrap thing until I read what your other question was about.

Answer 3

i've got no longer heard of something confirming it yet i do no longer see it happening for my area. Talladega and Daytona has banking greater suitable than 30 tiers which makes it possible for speeds too great to be risk-free without a restrictor plate.. on the different hand Fontana has banking under 15 tiers which would be seen flat adequate to maintain the speeds from getting any larger. At this previous race at Fontana there have been long runs with no longer many cautions and quite a few different lapped vehicles. some followers appeared on the song as uninteresting. the only reason NASCAR could positioned restrictor plates on the vehicles at Fontana is to bunch the vehicles up and create wrecks in hopes of coming up exhilaration.

Answer 4

The cars you describe, are the Charger Division at my local Short track. There are still Stock divisions. Move to a warn and active region and you can find Winter Heats that have local racing. Wasn't profitable here I guess, so there is very limited racing in the winter season here.

Answer 5

Alot of the Nascar Guys run some late model on dirt tracks. But I dont see them risking life and limb for a $200.00 to win First Prize. They make 200.00 an hour off interest on their Bank Accounts!!!!!!

Answer 6

There are some parts of the country that has winter racing..In Az and some parts of Calif.. Come on Nascar fans, our guys give us Feb thru Nov, thats 36 weekends of racing...They need some time off to be with there families and friends..and get ready for the next season... I'm having Nascar withdrawl syndrome right now...but I keep telling myself 84 days till Daytona 500, is not that far off.. We just got over Thanksgiving, next is Christmas, then New Yrs...then Daytona is just around the corner....

Run winter races at Daytona as a "senior" tour, all the retired drivers will be living in Florida anyway
