Did you read about Nascar making the restrictor (I don't know if I spelled that right?) plates smaller for Talladega? They say it's for safety, to make the cars slower with less horsepower. Between this and the fact they are putting up taller fences around the track, I think Carl's flight scared the crap out of them this spring. But why are they waiting this close to make the announcement? Probably so they don't have to listen to people complain as long. Talladega has always been about the "big one". If they do a whole lot more to tame this track, I feel they are going to lose some fans who make the trek to 'Dega every spring and fall. Safety is very important and all, but they've got to be able to race too. Just my opinion. What do you think about this?
