Re: [diesel_mercedes] speaking of nascar

And for those of us who tinkered with carburetors forever and forever, it is a sad day to realize that they have gone the way of the buggy whip and the hand crank.

Greetings,

NASCAR is so far removed from "stock car" it'll never
come back.

U.S. car makers haven't built a car with a carburetor
since 1990, and yet, NASCAR still uses them. It just
doesn't make any sense to me.

I don't expect race cars to be "stock cars" any more
but it seems like they would better represent the
state of the art.

Don't get me started!

My .02¢ worth

Enjoy!
