I sure wouldnt be trilled about 4 abreast... too many cars at once... I go to watch and 2 is enough at one time... ya cant see all 4 at once... JMO but thats their dog and pony show so I guess they'll do what they want... I'm glad that place isnt close to me.... I always thought they could run 2 lanes and if they had a oil down they would move over to the other lanes.... but I guess thats not how it works

Then they should bring back the 32 car field....they'll be lucky to get 16, and will look stupid if they don't have at least a 16 car field.

the article says that in the 1st round two cars will advance to the second round...
so after the 1st round there will be 8 cars left..
and it goes on to tell ya what happens in the second round...
Qualifying will be conducted in all four lanes
Each category winner will be determined in three rounds of eliminations
The first two drivers across the finish line in each of the first rounds of eliminations will advance to the second round
The first two drivers to cross the finish line in each of the second rounds will advance to the final
Each final round will include four drivers, with one driver as the winner and one as second, third and fourth

The NHRA said its Lucas Oil series will be conducted in the traditional two-lane format, running some classes in the left two lanes and others in the right.The NHRA is going four-wide.

Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock bike will be running 4 wide. Here is a question: Fuel guys already whine about the other driver taking too long to stage, and what about Pro Stock staging? 4 lane burndowns? Another ridiculous side show from NHRA. If it was exhibition, no problem. But this is real eliminations...... yuk.

At least there is a large concete barriar down the center seperating the two sets of lanes, so more than likely an out of control car will only take out the one car it is next to.
And yes circus is the correct discription of what they are going to be doing.

What classes are going to run 4 at a time?
Probally all of the 16 car fields, fuel, pro stock, alcohol, and so on
The article states that Lucas Oil classes will remain paired 2 at a time. Can you imagine being in a dial or index category and trying to "finish line" race THREE other cars? Too funny...
