Some FSS and a couple from Comp Eliminator. Didn't realize they did wheelies. Probably go to more Divisionals and forget about the circus.

Since there are 4 lanes available to run cars, how do they use them?

If they are running a class, there should be two cars staged in one set of lanes and two ready to start burnout in the other two lanes. When the first pair leaves, the second pair starts burnout. Meanwhile in the first two lanes, the next pair is pulling up to burnout box. This should cut the time it takes to run a class almost in half. If they don't do it this way, why have a 4 lane track?

Also, why are there weepers at this track? Its relatively new in the drag racing world. It should have been built with the best drainage or raised above the rest of the area to prevent such weeping.

Chris that is an interesting idea but I think it may cause some confusion, its hard enough to get some guys to choose between L and R lanes then you would have guys who would want to run in one set of lanes versus the other.
I don't ever recall there being trouble with weepers here before but not surprised with the amount of rain this week they already had then 1" plus on Thursday night, probably didn't help things.

If there were four cars in class and they said, "you guys line up", would you run four wide for a class win? I think it would be awesome. I'd qualify four wide if NHRA could prep a safe racetrack.

We got caught in some bad weather at the LV race last spring and only got one qualifying run. It's an awful feeling if it isn't going right.

I feel the pain for everybody I really do.

That being said...

At the Seattle Nationals in 07. Super Stock went into 1st round of elims with ZERO qualifying hits. None, zip, 0...

It definitely sucks.
