If you watch the videos it was every bit as safe as the races that had been going on all day in the two left lanes. Did you see how excited the drivers and teams were that got to do it? I thought it was a great spectacal. I would have loved to feel the ground shake and feel the concussion when FOUR fuel cars went off at once. Since he built the track like that, it only makes sense to use it at least once in a while. One of the future uses I see of have dual tracks is to keep the show going in the event of a bad oil down.

Dave it is scary with even Budweiser pulling out. The current economy and the cost of racing may push the sport back into the "Old Days". The popularity of Pro Mod, 10.5 outlaw and that sort of racing is indication of that. Even the dreaded Pinks All-Out is drawing huge participation and crowds.
