| I agree with having more (or all) short tracks and road courses and let the HP run.
Looking back to the days of Bill Elliot, fans complained about one car lapping all of the others and the leaders spread out all around the track. Having the cameras follow a single car around the track wasn't great viewing, and the high top speeds made everyone worry about a car going over the fence and into the stands. At least the crashes were a single car, or a few cars.
Now we have the cars all in one group and they look like a faster version of the 5 HP Briggs go kart class following each other in a group.
We romanticize the racing of the glory days of the past, but take a real hard look at a car from the 60s and the lack of safety equipment that they had. People didn't always walk away from a crash like they usually do today. A modern entry level local race car has to have more safety equipment than those old race cars.
In the very early days of racing, death was not an unusual event, and that didn't make for a fun day at the track either.
