NHRA - Raceway Park - Camaro

[SS427]

A local racer and I were just discussing this in the shop last night. I hardly ever watch NASCAR or drag racing anymore and one of the big reasons is what was just stated above. They all look pretty much the same with a slightly different nose and tail so you know who they represent but otherwise they have become cookie cutter billboards for the sponsors. Gone are the days that kids sit in the stands and root for their Chevy or Ford and dad went to the dealer on Monday to purchase the car he watched race on Sunday. If these cars went back to resembling what the showroom cars looked like I think they would stir up some more spectator and possibly buyer interest. Understand, they would not be as aerodynamic as these cars are today but that is what influenced the manufacturers to do better in the first place and what made to competition so fierce.
