Look, they're making a left turn! Hey look, they're making another left turn! Look, another left turn!!

Like watching NASCAR, although not as much as before(Don't watch much of anything for three hours any more). Not sure about these new cars; they're moving towards a one class one design.

Why couldn't they have kept it more open; big wings, droopy blue oval noses, 7 litre motors... and real cars modiified to race, not full custom everything...

I think Nascar made a brilliant move with the COT. I wasn't so sure at first but they proved it'll work. I saw a few cars so out of shape last night I know they would've been in the fence with the old cars. That rear wing and the other aero tweaks really helped keep the rubber side down. Heck, even Tony Stewart was happy!!
RobertN, Maybe you'll find the road courses more entertaining, they throw in a right turn now and then.
One of the big reasons for the COT was to have one template and help establish more parity on the track as well as to eliminate alot of deviation from the various mfg's established template. (no cheating fellas)

That does sound intriguing, but I'm sure the result will be the team with the most money wins. I believe that was the principal reason for the COT.

We had something last night!

Can't use real cars prepared to race. Almost no one builds cars with real frames anymore, unibodys just won't hold up to the kind of stress these cars go through.

Amen Brother, I'm trying to not get over excited until I see a few regular races.
Sure am missing the old colors.

I for one would really like to see one or two races a year running PURE STOCK right out of the factory cars could be non point races but to me would be more fun than everyone running the identical car.
