13.5 gallon fuel cells?

[24thunder]

Are these really helping to break up the packs at restrictor plate tracks any?IMO,the pack soon catches up in abot like 5 or so laps after the pit stop,therefore,IMO,the smaller fuel cells by demanding 3 or 4 more pit stops are just creating more chances for a disaster to happen on pit road!Granted,there was no "big one" 20+ cars torn up in the 1st restrictor plate race at Talladega while running the smaller fuel cells & if this trend continues then I might change My opinion about the smaller fuel cells,till further input comes in tho,IMO I'm against the smaller fuel cells as IMO there're more disadvantages than advantages to be gained by using these devices,JMO!
Any input would be most welcome,either way!Please vote also,would really like to hear varying opinions on this topic!Thanks in advance!

I think they create too many opprotunities for disater on pit road.

Yeah,seems like NASCAR's the only entity that wants these smaller fuel cells as most drivers don't care for them & just causes team to spend more time & resources exhanging these different size fuel cells for only 4 events each season!It doesn't make much sense to Me anyway!

Here's my opinion:

Slap "Safe" barriers on Talladega & Daytona and get rid of the plates!
This would be a little more dangerous, but they ran like this in the 80's.

Smaller gas tanks mean more pit stops & more chances for problems there.

I didn't see it seperating the cars much either.

NASCAR said they wanted to try it again for this race, but it was a rain shortened race. My suspicions are that they will try it ONE more time at Tally.
