I think Bruton Smith had a lot more to do with this then NHRA did, Bruton usually gets his way in the end....c'mon it's one race, what other tracks have four lanes

That's exactly what I was thinking too. I'm sure NHRA didn't order Bruton to build a 4 lane track. IIRC, the city/county didn't want the track at all and Bruton bullied them until he got his way.

Besides, so many people whine that they want drag racing to be like it was in the old days, here's your chance to go see it how it used to be. Lots of tracks used to run 4 wide. US 30 called them 'Jungle Races'.
