Cuts down on travel costs Cheap day to win a lot of money.

I kind of enjoy the competition of being the better driver myself so I'll pass. Test and tune holds no enjoyment for me. I do see a great number of guys that just want to make passes so you might have a huge base of, dare I say, competitors? If you can't cut it on the track as it is now that might be the next best thing.

I proposed this a few years ago, but no one seemed interested: one race a year at Charlotte running 4 wide. Same rules that we run under now, but applying to all 4 cars. I THINK it would end up as a best package race since you wouldn't really know which car to sandbag (who's going under, who isn't?), it would be hard to judge cars on both sides of you, or a car 3 lanes over from you. A 64 car race could be run in 3 rounds, or you could run 128 cars in 4 rounds, with the final being just two cars. With Las Vegas now being 4 wide, there could be and east coast and west coast race. I'm not proposing that this become the norm, just a specialty race, much like the cic race that used to run at the Sportsnationals once a year.
