Post shaker rigs : I'm no engineer, I can read the vernier scale but no engineer. However and in light of that fact I can't see what data comes from a shaker rig when the physical properties are not in play from a spinning tire/wheel and the forces that are endured from an object going 185 miles an hour. As a man who can feel the force of a 18 inch deep pot hole introducing itself to a fairly worn suspension system I can say that I believe with NAZICARS' policy on no testing entering a race, getting prize money, running laps to make changes and obtain data and ASS SEAT results is a positive exploit.
Condensed: Entering a race getting paid and testing an in house chassis is smart. Not entering and sitting home learning nothing is stupid.
My theory is race coverage is FU!@#ng bias. When the leader was passing/racing around ROBBY GORDON they went to a car back in traffic. DW and the clown posy are yes men. Thank god I listen to radio "only". I watched the race but outdoors where there was no computer. If you truly have a problem with RGM entering/testing/parking you are a selfish person. I said truly....truly have a problem with that I ask you to ask yourself again.

@Mike,

That's a rolling road wind tunnel not a shaker/7 post.
I understand your thoughts on paid test sessions.

I agree. Start & Test in race conditions is gold. And to have NASCAR essentially giving you a subsidy to help offset some costs, even better.

What I meant was "without" a turning wheel and vehicle movement ..thats what I said i'm not talking about those treadmills.
