"Live From" zMax Dragway - 4 Wide Charlotte, NC

[HR9121]

Hey Ken sorry I didn't step up with any reports this weekend but as you know this is a big family weekend for us. The girls have had a big weekend at the water park and it was good to see alot of people.
Got to thank Richie Decola for letting me drive his car after a grenade went off under my transmission last weekend. It's a great car I suck but it was a fun weekend.
There was a few people I missed like Brett Candies I couldn't never seen to connect with and a few more. We'll catch up next time!
Now we're off to the Jimmy Buffett concert with Greg Rowe so it's Five O'clock Somewhere!

No problem James, it was good to see you... enjoy the concert.

Hey guys, I hit the road but I did get some photos of Stock 3rd round before I left. I also have some 4 wide Factory Stock Showdown photos, I will post them later.

My next race will be the Virginia NHRA Nationals in 2 weeks.

The Four Wide FSS deal looks pretty neat (is that still a word? Just checking since I was referred to as old in another thread). Based on what “First in the Sevens” Turk is doing with a six year old car I’d suspect he’ll be the guy to beat. True innovator and competitor who keeps proving it, at this weekend’s Four Wide only the most recent example.

I have watched most every qualifying run for those guys, very impressive to say the least!
my question to everyone is I thought this race was going to introduce the new factory experimental class, anybody know when that’s going to happen?

I was wondering the same thing it was the talk all Winter but now not a word.

Factory Stock Showdown qualifying. It was hard to get all the cars in the photos, but you get the idea on what the 4 wide's look with the Showdown cars.

As far as I know none of the Factory X cars are finished yet. However I have seen speculation that there may be enough of them done to have some exhibition racing in the fall. In the mean time they can run Comp Eliminator.
