Did anyone else pay attention to the stands at the recent Charlotte race on Friday nite ? No, but the weather was not good.

They were pretty full yesterday for the Fuel finals. They showed MMPS after that and they were almost empty.

The gatornationals sold out. Last year when I was at Phoenix, that was sold out too. Nowhere on Earth can you experience anything that compares to a NHRA nitro show.

For those of you that have never been to ZMAX those stands hold LOTS of people to compared to most tracks. I was only there for a few hours and one pass on Drag Week but wow, what a place.

Yeah, you could put the "huge" crowds that show up for some races in that place and it would look empty.
Larry Dixon has always been one of the NHRA's most popular drivers, for good reasons. While he may have messed up and not followed the correct procedures I don't know why NHRA is being so punitive.

Agreed. This place is unlike any place else I've been. And I've been out of the hills a few times.

What was the 1/8 mile numbers and what is fast in the 1/8 for the T/F cars? I thought I saw 2.?? on the score board

What was the 1/8 mile numbers and what is fast in the 1/8 for the T/F cars? I thought I saw 2.?? on the score board 3.70 @ 240. Salinas went 3.72 at Charlotte and his 660 numbers were 2.99 @ 290. Watching the Dixon video, the header flames went out well before the 1/8 so there's that. The man who was paying for the ride was happy so that's all that matters I guess.
