We're not "scared" of "spec" anything. The big difference between circle track and drag racing is the difference in the amount of teardowns that would be needed. Ay any given circle track on any given Friday night, you've got what, 4 or 5 different classes of which maybe 2 need to be torn down. NHRA had dozens of classes and the skilled manpower needed just isn't there. Circle tracks have "claimers" too! Now I'd love to see that in a "heads-up" format! I think that I'd do pretty well.
