Not the point of "Stock" car racing.  The point is racing largely stock cars.  Not fabricated race cars.

No.

Start with nothing. Teams build whatever they want out of whatever they want. The resulting vehicles go around the track as fast as they can, and whoever finishes first wins. Everybody signs waivers and accepts the risks, including the fans.

Multiple series including regular road tracks, dirt tracks, and mixed rallycross style tracks. Maybe sometimes water to see who can build the fastest amphibious track cars

Somebody keeps winning? Boohoo you suck. Git gud or keep losing.

Even when I was a kid I wondered why there was precious little stock about the "stock" cars.

Actual stock car racing would be interesting for about 30 seconds.

They do this already. When you buy a ticket it says on the back of it we are not responsible for accidents. Yet every time a NASCAR or Open wheel car gets into the fence and debris or cars go into the crowd, the sanctioning body and track are sued for millions and they pay. They have to keep the speed down with restrictor plates and narrow tires or redesign the tracks to put more space and more fences between the cars and the fans. The need for safety for the fans vs speed of the cars is a problem across all types of racing, in the US and Europe. Someone gets hurt, everybody wants to get paid.


I know.
