    Where are you guys hearing these rumors?

    Real life contacts? Haven't read a thing about them.

    Hawk's scenario sounds very plausible.

    * Nascar has banned any multi-car radio communication DURING RACES (this includes spotters too)

    * radiators have been reduced from 5 gallon to 2 gallon capacity (HUGE change)

    * overflow tank changed to 1/2 gallon capacity

    *springs are softer

    *rear spoiler is shorter

    *plate is 1/64 of an inch LARGER




    i dont think we will be seeing any tandem racing at daytyona..

    these rules also are for every race track, not just daytona and dega races

    testing starts THIS WEEK!!!!

    Still think we see tandem racing at least at points during race

    The rule drivers can't communicate on radios with each other makes no sense to me

    tandem racing wont be happening at daytona or dega...and a major reason is the radios if nothing else...too dangerous without being able to talk to 1 another, drivers already said they cant and wont do it without communicaton..and these new engine rules arent minor tweeks either...radiator being 60% decreased in size all that need to be said....tandem is gone for good

    Still think they will find a way...but smaller radiator will limit it for sure

    not this time... drivers already said wouldnt do it if they could for safety reasons without radios anyways

    and like they said, whats the point of even trying to switch every single lap?

    doesnt matter either way to me really, we shall see what happens they test by the weekend

    im just ready for the $$$ to start pouring in again next month!!!!!!!!!!!!


    *also radiator inlet is in the center of the front bumper area

    probably not, but we will have a very good idea...if theres no way to keep it cool and no radios (even in testing), just no way it will work (which is ok either way by me)

    im just tired of the off-season now that football windin down

    Just found the testing being shown live on Speed. Can feel the urge for racing immediately it came on

    They are practicising 2 car draughts btw...

    2 gallons?! I bet that rule change results in one manufacturer having an advantage for this year, or part of it at least. I'm thinking the already well cooled Fords.

    Stream it from 9.00am tomorrow, or on TV from 1pm.

    Although I'm guessing everyone else knew this except me.

    That's my thinking and I would rather avoid the big 20 car wrecks that pack racing caused

    If they can limit it so they can't do it for more than a few laps it would be good I think. Would make it an actual race for the middle 490 miles and still allow them to team up when needed for a drive to the line.

    After thinking about it, I like the new radio rule too. They never should have been allowed to work with anyone outside their own team and maybe even any live driver to driver comms should be outlawed totally.
