Default restritor plates

Rusty Wallace had the opertunity just receently to run at Talladaga WITHOUT the plate. He aproached the 220 mph mark and stated it real fun. He also stated that in NO WAY would he want to run in a pack of cars at that speed. Can,t say that I blame him. If any of our members get the oppertunity to be at a track, prefurably Daytona and take the Richard Petty ride along program DO IT! They will reach speeds of 170+ on the super stretch and average 150 for the ride. Nascar and ISC will not allow them to run any faster because of the liability factor. I know its a far cry from what Rusty did in Talladaga but its way cool. I had the oppertunity to ride with Dan Pardus on my ride and they clocked us on the back strech at 186+ and he got his ass reemed for it. I lucked out on the ride being I worked with one of his race team members. Personaly cut the cubic inches which will cut some hp with some airo changes to slow them down and toss the plate in the woods.
