Removing the break out would be refreshing. I understand the 'cost' theory to run fast, however, the hours I spent to squeeze another tenth out of the car are what it was about. Then being on the tree so as to not give that tenth away. Fans DO NOT show up for weekly bracket racing and that is what even most S/SS shows are. They show up for the races where if the win light comes on, that guy or gal got there first. They don't have to look at the dial-in and calculate who won or why they won. I just don't see the motivation anymore to build a fast car except for something like Indy. Even the 'experts', aka Fletcher and others skipped SS at Indy cause they have built cars that are great bracket cars but can't cut it heads up. Just the thoughts of an old, retired super stock racer.
