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

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....

EXACTLY! I did a lot of street racing, back in the '60s, and I never saw more than two cars go at a time. What they're doing is like the dirt roundy round boys. Except, they're running six heats and a run off. A man should never have to beat the same opponent twice at one meet.

I heard also that Brutus Bruton is thinking of going 4 wide at Vegas.Remember when guys were saying "Gee I hope Bruton buys NHRA"?Like the old saying goes,be careful what you wish for,it may come true.This guy is no Wally Parks.He's a former billionaire looking to resume his former status.

The next thing you know NHRA will be offering "BUY BACKS" (like in BRACKET RACING) into the 4th or 5th round to pad thier $$$$$ intake at all of the races. They sure as hell wont increase the purse either.
