Super Car

Yup, thats a good name Jeff Hammond and I agree :)

Seriously folks what else would you want to name a car that is all about Safety?

Today the young kid called Kyle Busch won, and trying to be the closest anyone can to Tony Stewart he joined ranks with him and declared his toughness to the world by saying " The car sucks"

Well... thanks for that Kyle....

Didn't seem to suck for you today though....if memory serves me right, didn't you win...?

Then again, maybe you dont know what a Super Car is, or the memories it brings back to me and other 40 somethings ( plus)

For me with that wing on the back it brings back memories of Superbirds with pavement hammering Hemi's, or what I say .." When men where men and cars where cars.."

I like the name SuperCar, or Super car...

Lets see, it is safer, so that is good, it is supposed to make it a level playing field, so that.....whoops this we will see about, the jury just left the room on that one....

So, I officially will declare that the " Car of Tommorow " is here, and that the use of that name is now " past tense"

The use of the phrase " Car of Today" is also destined for the history books, as the use of the 3 letters COT are the same and confusing.

The name for the car needs to be one that explains what it is, and what it is all about, and better yet what it will become.

Even today, if you dont think that the teams are going to burn the midnight oil, think again, this is like the lead up to Daytona, the knowledge that was learned today will be huge, you may not know it, but the teams learned volumes from the race today, and will apply it for future races.

Will they share what they learned is another thing though......

Here is what I learned and what I will share with the world.

1. The front Splitter as Larry McReynolds pointed out may have been responsible for cutting down a tire today.

2. My suggestion to nascar is to modify the front of the bottom portion, ( what I am going to call the " garbage collector"). The outside of it needs to be shaved down a small amount, so it does not stick into the wind as Jeff Hammond pointed out to us today down at the Hollywood Hotel. I also want to compliment everyone at Fox and the boys for putting that video clip together so fast for all of us watching at home, you pointed out something that probably Nascar did not even know about. I guess future races will be the proof of the pudding so to speak, to see if this becomes true or not.

3. The back trunk lids seemed to work well enough today and with the extra cables attached kept the spoilers attached and the trunk attached, lets see if Martinsville is as nice to them as Bristol was.

4. The front splitter with the steel bolts that attach the top to the bottom part needs work though. I think it was the 29 car that had one of those bolts bust off the top part, and was just bouncing around. What I was waiting for was for it to "catch" a hole or crack in the track and then that would busted the whole thing off. Possibly a wire attached to them could prevent extra debris from flying around if this happened., not to mention the bolt itself.

All in all they seemed to hold together fairly well.

5. The " Garbage Collector" might have to be re-thought, as I can see from an airodynamic viewpoint that at some time this will collect garbage and lead to a hot motor as the air intakes are down there also.

Today their was a newborn and she is called " Supercar"
