If you were NASCAR would you keep or do away with the COT?

May be...

I would keep it but have a serious look at the load problem on the right side going through the turns. This would help with some of the tire problems. Would also test a couple other tire companies just to see.

Keep it. For drivers safety only.
Something (great racing) has to be sacrificed for something else (safety).

And the bottom line is we don't want to lose anymore of our boys.

Get rid of it, The old car was faster. The C.O.T cars sucks

Seven years worth of rigorous planning, designing, testing, and money right out the window? Fat chance. I'd be disappointed in NASCAR if they went away with the COT. It would tell me that they gave up. They just don't care anymore.

yes, they suck.

I,d get rid of it and those stupid restrictor plates...

if i was nascar my mind would already be made up - i'd be nascar and they made up their minds years ago. now, if i were in put in charge of the decision, i'd keep it, but take some input from the teams. i'd try to be at least one-tenth as flexible as they are about using that input to make changes as they are about making engine changes in the nationwide series because of (primarily) one owner's whining.

BYe BYE!!!!! It SUCKS!!

I would like to see it gone but it will not. They have too much invested in it.

If I were Nascar I'd keep the COT! Because lots of money has been invested in it!!!
Nascar needs to talk to the teams, drivers, crew chiefs, etc. After getting their input make changes that will give the COT more adjustability!! A lot of these races this year are just boring!! I'll give them a little help right off, throw that splitter in the dumpster!!!
PEACE

WHY OR WHY NOT???

Give it a chance guys. Nothing works how it should the first time around and if you haven't noticed NASCAR has been making changes to the COT as the season progresses.

Going faster is not always a good thing. You can have a really fast car but if it is not a safe car and it is not able to handle the tracks what good is a really fast car.

I honestly believe that if Dale Sr. was driving the COT with all the safety features he would still be racing today.

Give the car and NASCAR a chance.

Keep it but listen to the driver's complaints.

They have to keep it now. NASCAR spent millions developing it. They made the teams spend millions building new cars and most probably got next to nothing for the old cars which couldn't be used except in ARCA and maybe some regional NASCAR series. They would drive almost everybody out of the sport if they forced them to go back and build all new cars again.

They need to tweak the COT so it turns better and get some better tires. The old car took 25 years to become what it was. It didn't just pop up in the early 80s running like that.

The funny thing is last year on most of the short tracks it raced pretty good. This year it doesn't race as good even on the tracks they ran last year.

I have mixed decisions. The old car was more more exciting and faster. The new one is safer

At this point in time, I would keep the COT. It has proven itself to be a much safer car. Safety should be first in NASCAR. These cars don't flip over or fly up like the old cars, many more benefits to the drivers.

Go Jr.>>>>

I would-they can't, because NASCAR has millions invested in a loser, have required all the teams to build COT's.

I don't know which race it will happen, NASCAR will have to pay someone like Morgan Shepard to field a COT to have 43 cars start the race. It WILL happen.

We are already getting announcements from strong team owners that they are not fielding four cars next year.

NASCAR needs to get rid of their cots. Looks like France, Helton, and Pemberton could all use some physical exercise.

Oh, the Car of Tomorrow. I don't have a problem with it. However, it is a whole different creature than the old car (which was based on the 1966 Fairlane), and NASCAR obviously needs to do more testing with it and tires. Oh, and they should get rid of those unsafe bump stop things that were actually outlawed at one time! I'd keep it, but I'd want more time with R&D on it.

COT Has got to go....go back to the ole days......run with what ya have, it peters out ,try next week

get rid of the COT and come up w/ something that's a little of both safe but more exciting, and it wouldn't take much to make it more exciting
