The only problem is they've stopped production on the body protoype since
NASCAR has suddenly gotten a wild hair up it's ass about a "common
template" ala IROC. This needs to be resolved quickly as Evernham, Davis
and Petty can't delay the windtunnel testing too long.
Personally, I can't believe that NASCAR would do this as why would any
manufacturer put money into the development of some generic body that's
not identifiable to the fans? It's bad enough the way they've screwed
around with the aerodynamics, but if NASCAR goes to a common template,
it's going to be the beginning of the end of NASCAR.
YMMV,
Richard in San Antonio
