My thoughts are NHRA has a hard time keeping 2 lanes of traction equal so is impossible to keep four racable. I would never pay to go see one.

Since Charlotte and LVMS have the same owner lets hope they can. I saw they raised a little money to be the first pair to go down each lane. Thought that was kinda cool. This weekend 1/2 next weekend 3/4

Not a fan. I like the one on one of Drag Racing.
Whats next 4 wide no prep?.... Night of destruction
4 wide bracket racing?... Driving the stripe would be rough

It's loud and sensory overload. Once you get passed that, it's a gimmick. It's like let's play one football game a year with 22 people on each side using two quarterbacks. After the first quarter, it will just look like a big cluster foxtrot.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

so you prefer running an 1/8th mile that narrows down to one lane?

One of the best facilities in the country! I want to see the 4-wide fuel cars at least once in my life for the shear explosiveness of it. The racing part of it is kind of blah... I am going. Booked flight already. Will probably only see 4 wide race one time. But I don't need much of an excuse to go to vegas.

so you prefer running an 1/8th mile that narrows down to one lane? especially if there's a big hump at the end

Would love to see it but then again I'd be happy at any main event track in the USA,, I'll get there in the next few years.
