What wide open throttle racing where drivers can't even lift for fear of losing six car lengths if they do and risk wrecking everyone behind them creates is bad enough. Now add another cars front bumper stuck to their rear bumper all the way around the race track lap after lap. I just can't see that as racing! Those teams best be ready to load up some scrap metal. We'll see come Sunday.
I can't see what the difference is! Beforethey were stuck in a 2 lane by 20 something line of cars with no confidence to jump out of line and at least now they can pair up and go to the front! Sometimes as many as 4 wide! Now THAT is racing!!! Fuel injection will just be another form of restrictor plate! They can either control air intake (restrictor plate) or control fuel flow volume (fuel injection).

I still say toss off the spoilers, give'em skinny tires and let's race! This ain't F-1 !!!
