What are your thoughts?

 

I personally think Nascar has driven up the cost of racing considerably. Many safety issues have been addressed and corrected within the existing cars. I see no reason to change what has worked for a long time.

 

My suggestion would be to make the cars look like the street verison of each make and model. Get the noses off of the ground and take away more spoiler. Unless youknow who is driving what all cars look the same as they go aound the track. So what if Nascar would have to have more templates to fit each model. They did that until a few years ago. Nascar is all about Nascar and whatever is easiest for them. They have no real concern for the teams or what it cost to build and maintain these cars.

 

They just like the NFL, NBA, MLB and others are looking at their bottom line and could care less about anyone else.

I would say both. It would stink to be a pit crew chief now, they knew the old cars inside in out, this new change could hurt the big guys it will a depend on how there crew chief handles the new change.

The most intersting race for the COT will be Talladega in the fall. We should see a real slow down of the cars in this race. If we don't I will be totally amazed. As much as the cars move around in the draft now they should be all over the place with the COT.

 

 

 

I like the looks of the COT -- It looks more like the street version of the Impala's, Avengers and Fusions than the Monte Carlo, Charger and Fusions that we have been used to seeing.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
