When thats not cool anymore they will start launching them from the water box on a 8.5" tire, the goal is to wad them up right.

Guys will just have to step up their chassis set up skills and race the track. Many of the wrecks on no prep seem to be 500-600 feet out. Right when the speed is up. Not much adjustment will help that. Doug

Who thought that dumb s#%& up? Maybe track operators who wanted to stop spending money on VHT and attract the demo derby crowd? Stupidest thing I've heard in awhile. What's next, No Rollbar, Seatbelts or Helmet Racing? Let's go no prep for real. How about we throw some oil and broken parts out on the track to simulate someone having blown up their junk and race through that mess. Maybe running open cockpit cars in T-shirts. Oh...wait. They actually do that at some places.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I can't remember where it was at, but earlier this year there were 3 bad crashes at one of these races. Looks like the quick way to destroy one's car.

We do have snow/ ice drags here in Wisconsin. ask r5p7 duster. Nobody is forced to do this stuff. Why would anyone have a problem with it?
