Interesting Kirby makes no mention of MIS or Fontana in his oval wish list.

Exactly right. He's also describing a time when the sport was awash with tobacco money and NASCAR was a 2nd tier regional series.

I'm with Mario about what's wrong with castrated cars with barn door wings, but expecting Lord Empty Head to navigate seems beyond optimistic.
