Anyhow, Long Beach. Hurrah!
Agree, 900bhp and low downforce for ovals a la the early 90s and no Handford devices is whats needed.

IRL style oval racing is awful, its like plate racing in nascar except they can't push each other, so they run side by side, flat out lap after lap with little skill or consequence. The exception is in the flatter tracks like Milwaukee.
