So will it help? I am not so sure how much if any. Of course it will slow down the MPH by a fraction.. Any other opinions on this?
I agree.
I know this isn't the same exact thing, but along the same thought.....whenever a racing organization tries to keep cost down by mandating a minimum weight to eliminate the exotic metals etc...what happens? The top teams STILL use all the light weight expensive stuff and then add the weight where they want it. Doesn't usually solve the cost issue. Speaking mostly of Sprint cars and such...but in this case there would be an added 320 ft to the shutdown..iduno. JMO
