4-wide question
 

Just curious what does the time slips look like when there are 4 cars racing? Do you get one time slip with all of the runs or two slips with two cars on each?

Re: 4-wide question
 

only the pro's would know . the rest of us lowly sportsman racers were only 2 at a time.

I really don't care ! After racing since 1956 and still at it, I think this (4) four lane stuff SUCKS !
Give me back our original 2 lane 1320", or 660"ft and I'll be happy !
It's hard to change an old mind, and routine..............John

Yes i agree with you i dont see the point of the 4 wide yet. it is weird to see 2 cars win and they can be in the same side of the track. What i do think would be cool is if they ran the sportsman 4 wide in qualifying to get done faster so they could give us more qualifying runs but i dont think that would happen

Hopefully, this is a passing fad.

But, be carefull what you wish for. If these dummys can pass this off on the pros, they'll figure a way to pass it of on us too.
Probably, even if there aren't 4 lanes to run on!

I think it would be O.K. as long as they didn't run both lanes at the same time (4 cars run on the same set of lights).

What about a stagger set-up:
Get the first set of lanes set-up while racing the second set. Could have a longer eliminator session and more racers.
It might make it better for fans watching in the stands, i.e. more entertainment, little to no downtime for track prep, spills, or breakage...

I have yet to see it in person, so I am not 100% sure on my feelings on this...

4 lanes is stupid !!!!!! you can beat someone and then lose to them the next round.
drag racing is a head to head race with one winner.
its hard to reinvent the wheel

Re: 4-wide question
 

rich i was playing nice . believe me i had no desire to run 4 wide. i was just trying to answer his question. and by the way we all can't thank you for showing us around. we had a great time.

A total Circus act and the pro's will do anything just to see if people will pay to watch.....

4 wide is nothing new.....It was done in the '60's match race era at York and some other places.....

I agree drag racing is, was, an always should be two cars racing each other...

Ever see anyone racing 4 cars wide on the street? NO..... Thats where drag racing was born....
