assembly assist build controls device frequency intended intent jack prefer rules shock simply spirit spring within
However, the shock build -- that is the assembly of the shock and what the shock is intended to do with that build -- it's not within the spirit and the intent of what our shock absorber rules surround. Simply put, we prefer that shock absorbers are used for shock absorbers, which is a device which controls the frequency of a spring, not to be a spring assist or a jack or anything else.

For $600-$700 you're going to get top-level integrated ski-binding system. Expect to pay $400 to $600 for boots, depending on how much performance you want.
attempting bump calls control daytona drafting forward hopefully painful quickly quite reason subjective
As we go forward in attempting to control bump drafting in those areas, there's going to be some very subjective calls being made. That's the reason we'd like to get this under way as quickly as possible. Hopefully we don't have to make a call. But if we do make a call in the twins, it wouldn't be quite as painful as having to make it in the Daytona 500.
binding consumer designed integrated knowledge relaxed systems together work
I think with the integrated systems the consumer is more relaxed now that they don't have to make a binding decision. And the knowledge that these systems are designed to work together is a big plus.

The cars passed postrace inspection, ... The shock absorbers themselves, after being tested and disassembled and everything, all of the parts and pieces were well within the confines of the rule book. However, the shock build -- the assembly of the parts and what the shock it intended to do -- it's not within the spirit and the intent of what our shock absorber rules surround.

Our guys are changed with, in policing the sport, expecting that they have to take the personalities out of it. They can't look at who's driving the car, or who the crew chief on the car is. It's more of, this is a car and all 43 of them are checked the same.

There's a small part of it that's judgment calls, ... but I think in today's world, when penalties are issued, there's no judgment about it. It's black-and-white.
apparent becomes bump car create draft issue time touches unless
Every bump draft will not create a penalty. Every time a car touches another car will not create a penalty. Unless it becomes very apparent to us that there is an unnecessary hit, specifically in one of the no zones, we will not issue a penalty.
applies bump cars closer daytona draft drafting enhance excitement harder hits running slam stock time turning worst
It can enhance the excitement of the race. As it transfers to stock cars, and particularly applies to Daytona and Talladega, with the cars running closer together, a bump draft at the right time in the right place is not the worst thing in the world. But it has been turning bump drafting into slam drafting, because the hits just keep getting harder and harder and harder.
definitely designed dollars eliminate huge lab purpose quite race running spending taking talking thousands three tire tires weeks
The tire-leasing is not specifically designed to eliminate testing. It has the huge purpose of eliminating tire testing. I'm not talking about running a race track; I'm talking about taking 50 tires to an independent lab and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars testing. It's definitely designed to eliminate that. And quite frankly, we're only three weeks into that, but it's working pretty good.
