The dog, cat, and a couple friends and I discussed NASCAR on dirt for a while in the shop last night.  Beer was involved.

The following is what we came up with:

Issue the first - NASCAR really has to commit to making dirt races a long term thing, not a year or two novelty.  No one is going to work too hard at a dirt specific car and set-up if the race may not happen again in a year or two.

Issue the second - NASCAR needs to knock the windows out of those things and make the driver's learn how to use tear-offs.

Issue the third - NASCAR needs to work with a few dirt car builders on making a dirt track specific car and rules package (see issue the first).  Make it interesting to watch.  Get those pigs hiked up and sideways like a mod or a late model going through the corners.

Issue the fourth - Limit the races to say 100 laps. 

Issue the fifth - remove the pit stops from the dirt races.  Run 30 laps, mandatory pit stop.  Make it "affordable" as it can be, especially for the trucks and Nationwide teams.  What you do during the pit stop is up to you, but the track can be watered and maybe worked a bit.

So basically, dirt LM......

 

Fuck it, make them drive a dirt LM one weekend, mod another, midget another, and sprint another. And on real dirt tracks preferably.

 

Just the 5 mins I watched of practice was like watching hobby stocks...

Keep the body and limit the rear suspension travel via allowable shock travel length and/or a limiting chain setup.

They'll finger out real quick you can't pitch it into the corner like a late model, but more like a streeter.

Well, unless your are RTJ.

Hell, keep it real interesting and have a shock claim rule.  Can claim all 4 shocks for $50/shock.

Put an LS in it and it would be a cool car to take to the dragway.  Does mitch still have his.  

No. He sold it about 10 years ago. He was always to busy to enjoy it anyway.
