Talladega Terrors
FIXING ‘DEGA
1 Remove the yellow line
2 Restrict the cars even more
3 Flatten the banking remove the restrictor plates and let them RUN
3.5 Mikey’s suggestion- make the front bumper “soft” and the rear bumper cast iron
(would have REALLY hurt Brad in that finish)
According to Mikey in the drivers meeting they were told that NO bumping would be tolerated on ANY PART OF THE CAR.

“As far as the why we have the yellow line rule? John Darby’s explanation should leave all of us without a doubt, as to why this rule was implemented “The yellow line rule itself has been very effective in controlling some of the huge wrecks we used to have. It’s a very simple process, because if you look at the backstretch for Talladega that may be 15 lanes wide if you allow the competitors to use the skid pads and everything, the entrance to turn three is not; it’s back down to three lanes. What happens is it becomes a big game of chicken from going from 15 lanes wide down to three, and nobody wants to give; and that ultimately created some very large and unwarranted wrecks. The yellow line rule has at least made the width of the racetrack consistent all the way around, so the competitors know how much real estate there is there to use.”
Not to mention the dangers of going below that 'apron' and trying to return
2) I can hear the screaming from here!
3) Now I have gone completely deaf-and dumb it appears.

side note a mention was made to make the catch fence even more dense/safer
That fence is hard enough to see through as it is!
