When you do not have a good product anymore, it's time for gimmick's. wrench
LVMS was always intended to be a 4 lane track.
I was at the first LVMS NHRA race, and bruton announced over the PA that LVMS would have A fall and spring race the following year, He told everybody but NHRA. grin

I think it's just a way of offering up the 4 wides for the west coast fans.

National speedway her in New York used to be 4 lanes at one time, then it was narrowed down to two.

The problem with 4 wide is there is too much information going on at the same time, sucks for the fans too if you ask me. panic

Not in my opinion. This year will be my last at attending LVMS then.

It's to bad, as I always liked the race there.

Bruton has wanted Vegas 4 wide since the planning stages. Too bad he's finally doing it.

I think the 4 wide races suck also. It also confuses the driver's at the starting line. Oh and I think it is stupid.

NHRA 4 wide = WWE, but lets be real NHRA is a joke, can't fill the fields, do the dumb countdown to the playoff crap. I'm sorry but if the guy leads the points all years and whoops everyone there's no reason he shouldn't be the Champ because the last race of the year he/she has a bad race. I guess I'm old school, but they try to be more "entertaining for the fans and be more like the stick and ball sports...

I don't think I disagree with anything said above. While I am getting a little more accustomed to the four wide I have never really cared for it.

However I still would like, at least once, to witness, in person, four wide fuel cars.

Anybody that that has actually done that have any comments?
