The problem with a lot of you is you are too stubborn to accept change! I'm sure some of the pros bitched about it because they seemed to have problems staging! But I'm sure they were instructed on how to stage, and some were just too bone headed to pick it up! It was fairly simple if you ask me!

Why don't you ask some of our senior racers that may have raced 4 wide back in the day what they think?? Remember, this is not new. They did it at York and Budds Creek
Bracket racing 4 wide........don't think you'll ever see that! But who knows.[/QUOTE

Bryan,You won't see 4 wide racing,except at Zmax and MAYBE Vegas is Money Bags Bruton decides to spend the money.No other track will spend that kind of money on a whimsical proposition.Beside,the insurance hikes to the tracks would be absorbed by you know who,if they could even get that kind of coverage.
The pros have a valid complaint.The current setup now has the possibility of racing the guy you beat twice in the final,and losing to him.How would you like to race under those conditions.It would be like havig buy backs.I know we all would love seeing that in S/SS.
I saw 4 wide racing at NY National in the late 60s and early 70s.Jets,funny cars and the early pro stocks.My memory isn't that clear but I think Ed Eaton also ran some bracket stuff 4 wide.National was a pretty wide track though,but still not very safe.

Ed Eaton ran brackets 4 wide for a while I remember 4 cars breaking out at once, and they all lost.
Old Ed Eaton saved a lot of trophies that way.
