from Competition Plus:

“I think there’s something that should be really considered is to run these stockers 4-Wide, like the stock classes, the Stock Eliminator that I’m in,” he said. “There’s 59 cars here in that class. We could have some real good racing 4-Wide due to the fact you’ve got a lot of cars. I think it would cause the stock Sportsmen classes to be a lot more exciting to send four of them down at a time versus the two and you’ve got plenty of cars so it would be a big show. With four on the track at the same time, it would be a lot more exciting. "
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
TALK ABOUT ORGANIZED MAYHEM......please Don no more ideas

It would be even more exciting to run 2 fuelers from the starting line and 2 fulers or alcohol cars (total 4 at a time) from the finish line towards the starting line at the same time. Only problem would be the down time to clean up the mess.

I was thinking it would be better from the 1/8th mile marker.

Re: How about Big Daddy!

4 wide stock racing would take out finish line racing, it would be all starting line reaction and who could predict their time the best, you cannot see all the cars so you would have to run all out so the bracket racers in stock ( finish line racers) would not have as much of a advantage, it would go back to true stock racing, best reaction and best tuner

Correct!!

It did, but a Ford flathead preceded the Hemi.

Re: How about Big Daddy!

I would think if they ran four-wide that they would still run as usual and have have the spots as usual ao that one winner would come out of the pair on the left track and a winner would come out of the right track.
Now for class run offs this would indeed be interesting at the 1,000 ft or close to the finish line.
.I vote class run-off go 4-wide when enough cars in same classes are available..would def save time...

Re: How about Big Daddy!

I'll bet there would be some spectators to see 4-wide super stock. Even if the cars had there dial-in, there would be very little brake lights at the end of the track. "Oh no, we broke out", could be the name of the race. I am going to contact Byrd at Z-Max and see if that could be set up as a week-end race. That may be fun. Stay tuned.

Re: How about Big Daddy!

Like we're not mired in enough of a bull$**** circus atmosphere now this is all we need.
I'm going mid 13s and I'm in lane #4.A AA/SA car is in lane #1.I'll have a real shot at closing him in at the stripe.Don't some of you people engage your brains before you come up with these cockamamie ideas to make improvements to an eliminator that only needs tweaking to make it run smoothly?
