Ray's Vision for IROC's Future and a Revival

you know to me as we've developed an evolution of the race cars come on that everything's become about aerodynamics and it makes the cars extremely sensitive you know if you put you take a car out there that relies on mechanical grip and horsepower and Driver ability and whatnot it makes for a better show and as I said IROC was a show it was a TV show it was driver against driver wasn't supposed to be about the car did you ever catch anybody trying to like do something to their car when nobody was looking like you know put air pressure down things like that to talk try and talk guys into it you know it was fun to watch them you know there's a these cars at one time had a uh an electric rev chip on them and there's a story going back to they believe Bobby Allison or I'm sorry Bobby Unser had you know alligator clip he could bypass the thing so you know urban legends but you know Dale Earnhardt and people like that were always checking Heights Dale would Dale would make a mark on his fire suit to see how Lowe's you know how his spoiler was up or trying to figure out how low is front air dam was was up and down and then with the radial tire they were always trying to get the guys to let a little air out of them so it was a fun game I always wondered about that you know you hear stories like that of every other form of racing and I think if all cars are equal they're probably you know like trying to let air pressure out with their toe or something tried not to let them touch them for that reason anybody ever get away with it that you found that out for the fact obviously I don't think that anybody did but I mean I wouldn't know if they did right so if they got away with it you know because we I never really caught I never caught any drivers messing with the car when they weren't supposed to you know there's plenty of drivers that tried to talk us into doing something for him but if I had one more really cool thing to do in my life I'd love to bring IROC back that'll be a sound bite for sure I'd love to see that in your perfect world if you were to bring IROC back would you do it with a current production car would you do it with a vintage body like the Camaro uh I would do it with a current car much like when I designed the SRX series I did that with IROC really in mind so I think an IROC car would be something that looks that it's own it would not be a Chevy a Ford or a Dodge because that way you could get drivers again I would use a lot of the things that I…
