Never kept up with the Indy much, but I do remember seeing all of the different cars that they used to race. One I remember clearly, and I don't remember the 'name' of the car, was the one that had 4 steer tires.
Anyway, the same things that have ruined the Indy cars have done the same for NASCAR. Things like the differences in the cars, engines,the drivers unique personality's, etc, etc, etc that were, to me, what racing was all about. It's a shame that it was all taken away from the teams/drivers in an attempt by managment to even things out and make the races closer. Sadly the all the things that made racing exciting were all taken away in an effort to make the racing what managment thought would be exciting.
I don't know about Indy, and I really don't keep up with NASCAR anymore either (even though I only live about 8 miles from the Chlt Motor Speedway, or whatever they are calling it this year.)but have you seen the fines they are handing out nowdays for pretty much anything? I mean seriously, a team and driver getting fined because a rod weighed like 3 grams too little? Funny thing TOYOTA builds the engines and the teams do nothing but put them in the care and run them. Then there is the driver that got fined a massive amount of money because he had bad things to say about the new cars. Since when a driver speaking his mind become illegal?
In the end, like all sports, racing in most forms has become so commercialized and has gotten so far away from it's roots that it's nothing but BIG business anymore....and that's sad.....

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
