My wife wants to go. Are the walls between the lanes hard to see over? How high do you need to sit to see all 4 lanes?

Thanks


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

There are no bad seats at Zmax. Even on front row they are good seats, I like the seats at the top close to the end.If this is your first trip there, you will not belive how nice the facilty is.Take a cooler, the drinks and food are exxxxxxxxxpensive.

I live 15min from Zmax and haven't been for that reason....it's a gimmick to attract fans.

I feel the same way but my wife wants the 32000 hp experience. It is a track we haven't been to and we have some free time then so.... looks like we are going.

I live about 30 minutes away. Went the first year and it really SUCKED to try to watch 4 cars

But Zmax is an AWESOME track so now I just go to the Friday Night under the lights qualifying which is the most fun to see (and the best value experience-wise too) and that's good enough for me.

Do I really care if Mike Neff beats Robert Hight or whoever in the finals? Not really I do pull for AJ but to be honest I haven't really cared who actually wins an event since Alderman quit and the Legends like the Snake, Glidden and Bernstien retired Qualifying is as exciting as the race to me, plus there's less people so it makes getting in and out and up close to see things a whole lot easier and more fun

This facility is as nice as it can get. Yes, food is expensive as at any NHRA event. All the seats are good. Don't second guess how powerful they are 4-wide. Yes it is a gimmick or show but even if you are an old timer it is impressive when the green light goes on. Pro Stock will be the easiest to watch because they are so close. Last time we were there they had two funny car bodies to come off in the same race. Have fun.
