Heck we can rent our local track out from Sunday till Friday and test 16 hours a day each day, but that doesn’t mean we have to or we will, but point being it’s our choice, if we have the money and we want to spend the money that way then we will, if we want to spend the money on going to a windtunnel then we will, if we want to spend the money to haul our car to a carshow then that is our choice on how to spend our money.

It’s a waste of nothing, the teams are their own companies they can spend their time and money the way they want. If they don’t have the time or money to test then that is their companies problem and not NASCARs. I mean you can’t say Pizza Hut should cut out in-store pickup because it’s a waste of time and money because more people get delivery, If Pizza Hut wants to spend their money on keeping their in-store pickup running then it’s their companies prerogative.

And the point is its a waste of every teams money,they dont need to do it.

Cut out all testing and run what you bring. if you cant get it right by friday you go home. just an added expense and more fuel.

I agree its a waste of time and money.

Here is something that I asked Jayski awhile back and he never really gave me clear answer.

Say a team build a car to NASCAR Rules however doesn’t get the car/chassis certified (so it is not an official NASCAR race car) could teams go to any track they want with that car and test?

In case I confused anybody here is a better example.
RCR creates a “Test Team” which is lets say is just like a full time Cup team however it does not have a registered number, nor does it have any connection to NASCAR (ie, driver of team is not a NASCAR licensed driver, etc) However it uses cars built to NASCAR rules (however not certified/approved by NASCAR), could that team in theory be able to contact a track and rent the track for a day or two and test.

I would think Yes, Jayski told me awhile back that the answer is no because the cars are built to NASCAR Rules, but really if I (or anybody that wanted to) had enough money we could buy a car that is built to NASCAR rules from a team just for the heck of it, so I don’t think Jay’s answer of it being a car built to NASCAR rules isn’t correct.

???????????????????????????????

It would make sense that if the team is not associated with NASCAR, that nascar could not regulate that team or car: after all, how would nascar penalize that team? T
