Default Re: 4 Wide for 2011

I had blast at Charlotte, its by far the best track I have ever been to. The four wide was cool to watch, I am not sure I would want to be a pro and race a 4 wide. I can tell you the weather was on the cool side, but the stands were packed. The TV audience may have not liked it, but the locals looked like they enjoyed it. Its a beautiful track, you can say what you want about Bruton, but he sure knows how to build a drag strip.

The only complaint I would have is that lanes 3 and 4 were not as good as 1 and 2. The .90 cars were having a rough time when they came off the throttle stop. I think its because 3 and 4 are not used as much.

Brain, I can respect your decision not wanting to support that race, but for me its on my list, and I can't wait to get there in the Fall. As far as the pro's not showing up, I doubt it very much. Remember they have sponsor obligations. They just can't stay home like they were one of us.
