"Live From" The 4 Wide zMax Dragway, Charlotte, NC

Ken Miele · 04-24-2024, 04:42 PM

Hey guys, we are live at the 4Wide... zMax Dragway, Charlotte, NC. We are in the stacking area. There about 60 to 70 rigs here. Parking starts at 8am tomorrow. The weather looks great for this weeks race. Looks like we get 2 qualifiers early Friday, first round on Saturday morning followed by 3 more rounds after they get done with the pros. So it will be a round robin late night for round winners.

A little different rolling into, hope you enjoy.

Hey guys, we started parking at 8am sharp and within a few hours they cleared the stacking area. I will have video up later, but I did find some cars out early in the day to get some photos. I'll be back in a bit with video getting parked, riding through the pits and some cool video of the FX cars, I think there are nine of them competing here with some very cool paint schemes from the good old days of pro stock.

Thanks for the reports Ken! For the first time in a very long time I will not be in Charlotte and it feels a little weird but I will be back out pretty soon. Good luck everyone!

Ken, do you know which lanes Stock and Super Stock are qualifying in tomorrow? They split them up one year and definitely got in my steps that day.
