Older thread but I'd like to revisit for a question. I understand the idea behind this and mostly think this is a great idea. But can't it also hurt the sport/economy? I mean now have no need to go out, spend money, and try to get faster (other than for the sake of going faster). Speed parts be damned. More money for beer I guess. I always had the mindset that I didn't want to be the slower car. I didn't want to be the "first is worse" guy. Now we take that away. I'd use to go out and spend the duckets, make improvements, and tune my *** off. I do see where a person might think this new system is a way to get more people involved in the sport. But I'm skeptical. Fairer? Yes. Dulling down the of razors competitive edge and desire? Inputs?
