I couldn't agree with ya more Richard, the cars are already very close, look
at qualifying at Bristol last week, 40 cars qualified and separation from
the pole position to the last place car was only .322 seconds!!!
.322 seconds, WOW, how could you possibly get these cars to run any
closer???
I have seen many articles from newspapers around the country were they are
quoting Gary Nelson as saying its NOT going to happen anytime soon. I just
can't see Ford, GM,and Dodge agreeing to this, or the fans for that matter.
here's a quote from a newspaper last Sunday
NASCAR insists the idea of common templates is dead.
"It is not on the front burner at this time," NASCAR series director Gary
Nelson said Thursday. "We continue to talk about it, but there have been no
serious conferences lately."

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
