[@Patch3dd]

@@magnusrylander Wasn't the whole point of NASCAR having actual stock cars compete against each other? All we will have now is a stock car looking shell on a race car that's nowhere close to the type of car it resembles visually, which in this case is a camry of all things lmao

[@magnusrylander]

@@Patch3dd again, I might be missing something, but wasn't NASCAR having peak popularity when it was farthest from stock? Also, the cars in the 90's looked nothing like the road cars. Having fully stock cars actually never happened, even though it has stock in the name. NASCAR started out as bored bootleggers racing their TUNED and UPGRADED cars that were used to outrun the police. NASCAR was all about looking like they were stock, although never actually being one, which is what they are getting back to. Hope that clears some things up.

[@Jhihmoac]

"NASCAR Stock" actually once meant a degraded version of a street car currently in production... The same body, frame, interior construction, minus the amenities of a passenger car to conserve weight, allowing for a team installed performance engine, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, competition wheels and tires, and a roll cage.... Keeping things simplistic for racing, and that was IT! NASCAR couldn't stress that enough back then! Now, with all the new equipment, it MIGHT look like a street car, but it's FAR from that... Hence, where's the "Stock" (?)

[@magnusrylander]

Again, here we go with another fool with the thick head and large mouth. It you want to watch what you described, go watch the 24 hours of lemons ( not leMans). NASCAR was most popular when it was the farthest from stock! Changing the cars back to stock cars would make people leave! It would be boring and people would get mad at NASCAR because the mustang and camaro engines would expire after 40 laps and the Camry v6 would probably not hit 140 miles per hour, making the races 7+ hours long. Next time how about you think before you speak.

[@Jhihmoac]

@@magnusrylander - Evidently you weren't around in the old days when the cars I speak of ran, with their heavy cast-iron V8 engine blocks and forged steel shafts and gears... It took a lot of machine and materials back then to produce the horsepower and speeds that were attainable at that time! Also as a result, cars were far more rigid then they are now, and many a driver wound up more broken than the car actually did in a crash! Go through a time machine, and realize first that there WASN'T nearly the high-technology at one's disposal like there is now, nor would $ome of the teams have the money required to attain it as they do now... Many an up and coming racing team was constantly in the red, and would try to get whatever $pon$or$hip they could find to help in financing expensive high-performance rated parts... Otherwise, you "self-modified or nursed along whatever stock part you had and hope it held"! The sport was fledgling and money was very tight at best, not the "My billion is better spent than your billion" like it is today! That's why to me, most racing, especially NASCAR now, is nothing more than a glorified "beauty contest" of drivers, machines, the teams, the sponsors, and let's not forget the colorful decals all over the rolling iron! But then again, I guess if you're a successful energy drink manufacturer, catering to some cupcake fagboy who plays iRacing along with $5K worth of game racing perhiperals his Mommy and Daddy got for him, it's money well spent, right?

[@magnusrylander]

@@Jhihmoac Ok, so you didn't read my comment and take my suggestion. Fine then. Let's address each thing you said. Yes, I know that the old v8s ware made of forged cast iron metal. That is why I said going back to stock isn't a good. Toyota would have the only car that would last the 500 miles (because, let's be real, Ford and Gm in terms of reliability is trash ) and they only go 140 miles an hour, which makes the races very Long and daunting. The part about the rigid fit of the old cars is absolutely wrong, the only reason those old cars didn't crush like a tin can is because of the rollbar behind the driver. The cars of today are much safer due to the fact that they crush to a point where the body becomes more rigid and protects the driver. If you watch some comparisons of a crash test of an old car and a new car, you will see that the old car is actually less rigid. Next, Yes I know that the technology and money wasn't as much back then. But if you think about it, NASCAR is in a way, the same as it once was. If teams don't have enough money for new parts they have to resort to reusing the last race's parts and hope they would last. Just replace the old teams that could afford better equipment with teams like JGR and Penske, and the struggling teams with the likes of MBM, and Rick Ware Racing. You will see that it isn't much different. You must've never been a NASCAR fan, because it has always been about who can spend the money best. It was on a much lesser scale back then, but it still was " I spent my 2000 dollars better than you, your 2000 dollars so I am winning" Pretty much all forms of racing of all time ran on that philosophy. If your not satisfied with NASCAR not being what you want, then I can't help you. However, I still recommend the 24 hours of lemons. It is a race where you take stock cars, remove the passenger stuff, put a roll cage in it and see if the parts you could afford could last the race. I do agree with you on the iracing thing, that is annoying, however, they have sponsorships backing them, which is money, and no matter what era of nascar you think of, money is good. If I missed anything, please let me know and all the mistakes I made spelling and word wise are due to autocorrect.
