You do realize that every Nextel Cup team has seperate, specific, complete cars built for only the road courses? Except for the road course cars, everything on the oval cars is asymmetric. They even have several different cars for different types of ovals.

This is the kind of stuff that bothers me about Nascar and Nextel Cup specifically. These are supposed to be STOCK cars, and they couldn't be any further from what you buy off the showroom floor. I mean, when was the last time you saw a tube frame, carbed V8, RWD, 2-door fusion? Heck, I understand the need for prepping a race car for safety etc probably better than anyone here, but come on, this is ridiculous. I mean, our Grand Am Cup Mustangs still look like mustangs!!! And we actually retain a number of stock components, including the unibody . . .

Anyway, for anyone that actually likes road racing with cars that aren't too far removed from what most of us drive, Check out Grand Am Cup (and Rolex) www.grandamerican.com and while you're at it you can cheer for your favorite CEG admin's team, Rehagen Racing w/ the #59 2005 Mustang GT (we also run two 04 Cobras from time to time, #52 and #58)
