RPs are really the problem. Without any initimate knowledge of the cars, i think giving them back the HP and taking away aero would force them to GAS-BRAKE-TURN-REPEAT (shift optional).
No splitter/spoiler or some change in them might well be a far better solution than restricting the intake.

Well, the big reason they went to the restrictor plates was because the cars were going so fast, they'd flip into the stands in a wreck.
So the question is, with all the current gen aero and roof flaps and the like, are the cars safe enough at 230mph to spin around backwards and stay on the ground? Or more likely, are they safe enough at 250mph, which is probably the speeds we'd see with the current power and aero tech... they were hitting 230 in the 80's afterall... today they'll be much faster.
Frankly, the "right" answer is to have them run unrestricted 2.0L 4 bangers or something. Then they'll have the responsiveness of a non-restrictor plate motor but with no horsepower. It would sound like a swarm of angry bees.
