4 wide is the answer

W J · 03-31-2010, 09:59 AM

Once a few more major issues arise w/4 wide, or a huge accident, I'm betting it'll fade away....just like wide whitewalls did...The original "save time when oil-downs occur theory" by swapping over to the spare 2 lanes was great, though....just my .02......WJ

I've got the solution for 4 wide racing! If you like it, go to Charlotte and/or Vegas (once it's converted)! If you don't like it.......stay away from those two tracks!

I just think it would be cool to try to run class 4 wide at those tracks! My class (7 cars) would have been decided on the track, not on paper!

i would like 4 wide for class but not elim.
and i have done 4 wide in 1966 at york, pa

I can't imagine what could be wrong with 4 wide class run-offs. It would save time and equipment.

I'm sure if the fastest of the 4 cars is in a center lane the driver could get whiplash checking both sides to see when he can dump.

Guess that would be his problem. So far I have not seen anybody in my class dump. Some guys (Lloyd) like to run fast.

Looks like we may not see 4-wide in "real" competition anymore!

VIC,
Your absolutely correct.
If done, for 'Class Only'.
Can you just imagine an old style eliminator.
A/S; Lane 1
O/SA; Lane 2
F/SA; Lane 3
H/S; Lane 4
Imagine the racers panicking,, what Lane did he say???
Or how about, 'How Many Four-Letter words can you spell?
Oh Well,,,'at least they tried'.
Double-Wide x 2.
