To each thier own. I just like to watch a good race, and many of the bigger
tracks allow the field to get sprawled out to the point that there isn't any
racing at all, just a bunch of guys making laps like an F1 race.

And Bristol would be better if they slowed the cars down by taking away aero
& mechanical grip. Keep the HP the same, though. The general rule is the
faster the cars, the narrower the groove.
