[NSRCA-discussion] Long - RE: Weight

[Phil Spelt]

Right, then we'd have Pattern looking just like the Indy Racing 
League and NASCAR -- everyone driving the same thing, and all 
innovation is thoroughly stifled.  I grew up on USAC racing in the 
Midwest -- they ran Offenhauser 4-cylinder engines for a long time, 
until Ford and some of the other engine builders learned how to 
compete, then we were back to good variety and honest 
competition.  Then ole Tony George took over when Tony Hullman died, 
and single handedly destroyed that.  Now NASCAR has done the same 
thing -- take a body/chassis, put a sticker on it, and call it a 
"Ford" or whatever.
