The whole 4-wide thing is another gimmicky circus that will eventually wear thin. Just like Jim said, the fan base that it appeals to will move on to whatever the next flavor of the week is or at least go back to watching Street Outlaws. The fall Vegas race was always on my bucket list; I'm not so sure any more. |

Re: Vegas
They DO NOT need to have another 4 wide at Vegas. It is a gimmick that has been used off and on for many years. The one we have now is one too many. Drag racing is 2 cars side by side and should be 1320 feet, but that's just my 2 cents.

Re: Vegas
Vegas is the entertainment city. It now has a Hockey team and they are building the Las Vegas Raider stadium for NFL football here next year. Bruton Smith built the race track way back when intending to have a 4 wide. The ground was already roughly prepared. It will be done I bet for the fall race 3 months. I really don't see how it effects sportsman racing. We get called to the lanes through the same speakers and run down our lane. If there are more fans to watch so be it. I could be one of those "the uneducated fan base" and I surely have no marketing skills. I'm sure Bruton Smith is flipping the dime not NHRA.

Re: Vegas
I agree with Bryan run class 4 wide then the AHFS would work. i don"t see 1 person able to convince the other 3 to only race to the 1000ft.

Re: Vegas
The first four-wide race will be in April 2018, and next year's October event will remain two-wide.
That is according to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Facebook page. |
