NASCAR??? :huh:

I know it might be a surprise, but there is a lot more to NASCAR than the Sprint Cup series you watch on Sundays, this would have been a very correct NASCAR modified from the mid to late '60s, at one time NASCAR even had a dirt super modified division it sanctioned in San Jose, California. Even today NASCAR sanctions two different modified divisions, a Northern and Southern division, along with grand american modifieds which is basically a copy of the IMCA class but runs at NASCAR sanctioned tracks, they even have dirt late models, and in the fifties had a Sprint car division, so yes, it's a NASCAR.

Oops, sorry for the rant on NASCAR, again, forgot I'd already posted on this, but not recognizing short track cars that race under a NASCAR sanction as not being NASCAR because they aren't a Sprint Cup car would be akin to saying anything that's not a top fuel car doesn't belong in the Drag Racing Forum.

You can have the thread back now, just remember that there is over a hundred NASCAR sanctioned short tracks in the nation, and have been for decades and every class they run at those tracks are NASCAR cars, even if they only made one race they had to join NASCAR to race at a NASCAR track. Maybe the forum should be changed to "Oval Track", we will let the cup cars show on it since they do run on an oval track, ..most of the time, there's even a NASCAR race car that has set records at Bonneville, and a current one still trying, driven and owned by retired Cup driver Dave Marcis, where does that fit in the forums?

Real nice car Bob even though you built it 6 years ago.

Horsepower speaking of changing the name of the thread to oval track instead of NASCAR to "allow" modifieds (even tho they are NASCAR like you said) and stuff like that, well what about F1 cars and other circuit racing cars. In my opinion the under class tread is for street cars not race cars and the NASCAR tread should be just called race cars. Just like the drag car tread, that is not called top fuel cars. Just my opinion.

That's a good idea, do you think it should be race cars, or "circle track" since a road course is a circle track, it just has a few kinks, but still starts and ends at the same point.
