Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 4989552, member: 41"] NASCAR has been using "restricted HP" setups at Daytona and Talladega since the late 1980's to slow the cars down ever since Bobby Allison went airborne at Talladega and took out over 100 yards of fencing in front of the main grandstand. Another few inches higher, and his car would have ended up in the stands, killing hundreds. You'll see better racing at Charlotte or one of the smaller tracks where the cars can run wide open (albeit only 160-170 mph, as opposed to the 200+ they were achieving on the 2.5+ mile tracks).
