Tony Clifton should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
OK what to do about Superspeedway specs

Now that the series are merging, lets have some light hearted, real world debate regarding downforce on superspeedways.

In my opinion IRL cars have way too much downforce causing the cars to run in packs and you hope to get a draft and run to pass the car in front of you.

CART/CCWS tried many different setups and devices to make competition better, hanford device, road course wings on the front with superspeedway wings on the back etc.

What about this scenario, REDUCE the total aerodynamic downforce on the cars with both minimal front and rear wings and specifically designed undertrays.

The concept being that the cars are very fast in a straight line but the drivers would be forced to lift when the went toward the corner.

This would force the driver to be a huge part of the equation and keep corner speeds down.

Thoughts?
