We'll have to agree to disagree on the debate of racing back to the caution. I still only see a perceived, rather than an actual safety concern.
I can't go for blaming the car when you wreck it. My passenger car will go 125mph, but I wouldn't try it on a highway on-ramp, it's called "knowing the capabilities of the machine." And if I did try it, I would know better than to use that excuse on my car owner (my wife).
I don't think chopping the spoiler is the answer. They did that across the board this year and it's caused all sorts of problems (and wrecks) because of no down force.
Lack of spoiler didn't cause any wrecks. I don't have a spoiler on my car, and I'll wager you don't either. I don't hit guardrails on corners, and I'll bet you don't either. You know why as well as I do: speed. The racer that get loose in the turns "because of less downforce" just needs to slightly lift up a bit on the gas pedal. That's what the other 42 guys did. Rally and GP racers are forced to learn throttle control, it's also what the NASCAR boys that are any good at the road courses must master.
As far as the 9:1 compression argument goes, I have to say this: aero is becoming more and more important to NBS teams, too. Haven't you noticed that some of their lap times actually EXCEED that of their Cup brethren at certain tracks? Their cars are getting more slippery, faster and more dangerous just like the Cup cars as more money comes into the series. The best solution (like truth) probably lies somewhere in the middle; lower compression AND less downforce.
At any rate, I think one thing we all can agree on is this:
NASCAR is just like America; they're both flawed, but it's the best show in town! See ya'll at the track, boys!
