No matter what ends up happening or not happening with the new cars, I think the worst potential outcome would be to do away with heads-up racing. As much as getting smacked by a half second by a "new car" sucks, the heads-up race is really what separates us from the rest of the "bracket" world.

Think about it. Doing away with heads up racing basically means doing away with fuel check, scales, cylinder head rules, rotating assembly weights, matching engine/body, factory interiors, factory-style suspensions, etc.

I think the horsepower factors on the new cars is crap just like most people and someone running .5 to 1 second faster than the crowd with a piece that is brand new is crap. Saying that though, I would rather get smacked by these new cars for the next 100 years than to do away with heads up racing with the strict rules that we live by. If that happens, I'm out and I'm sure a large percentage of people would be also.
