Re: zMax Dragway @ Concord Photos
It will be interesting to see how they run the national event,with it having 4 lanes.

Re: zMax Dragway @ Concord Photos
Has there been any mention of how they plan to use the other lanes?
Time shots 4 wide? If one set goes down , do they just flip to the other? If there's an oil down for the pros, do they flip to other lanes while clean up crew is on track cleaning spill in opposite lanes?

Re: zMax Dragway @ Concord Photos
I am thinking flip lanes because of oil downs.

Re: zMax Dragway @ Concord Photos
I thought I heard that NHRA said they will only use 2 lanes for the national event.

Re: zMax Dragway @ Concord Photos
I hear the pros now get buy-backs. Extra 2 lanes is for them only. If a sportsman puts oil on the track he has to clean it up himself, during that time, competition moves to the other track.

Re: zMax Dragway @ Concord Photos
Apparently from what we were told, the national event will only use the left two lanes closest to the main grandstands. Not even sure how they eventually expect to use "four lanes." We weren't given a real "plan" as to their use. The logistics of using four lanes at a national event level could be mind-boggling. That whole exercise could be very interesting, maybe even a lesson in futility.
