This guy says it pretty good - Four-Wide racing is two-wide too many | News | Motorsport.com
4 car takes away from the gun fighter aura, two go out one comes back. I like the format of drag racing because it is more one on one. I would like it even better if the teams were only allow one car entry per race. I am sure 4 cars really thunder, cannot imagine what 4 top fuel or funny car pile up would look like think about it.
If it wasn't a point race---no fueler or funny car would even go-----
Point well taken how about the safety side, pushing it a bit are they not? They knocked off 340 feet cause they needed more shutdown area, one of them gets sideways and Katy bar the door.
In the racing world, Burtin Smith is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$and he doesn't leave any foot prints
So...a car can lose 2 rounds but still win the final?
That ain't drag racing!

IMHO, head to head, one on one, is drag racing the other is just Carnivalism (is that a word?).
It's just a matter of time before they have a "big'un" but that'll probably just make it more popular.
I also don't like the 4 wide "stuff".. I always feel like I'm missing something, You can't watch them all! I wish it would go away!
4 wide sucks
LOL:LOL: Dave
That's exactly the way I feel about nascar push cars.
sure am glad that this race wasn't run 4 wide------------
but when thy had trouble with a lane why didn't they just switch to another one???????????????????????
Were you expecting comman sense? No one had a cell phone to call someone and ask what to do.... lol
Think it was more the weather then the lanes themselves.... With the temp low as it was and all the moisture in the air the stickum thy spray on the track doesn't always work, then the Fuel cars have a tendency to peel the rubber off the track when the lane is cool..... Doubt there had been any prep work done on the other lanes and the slippery conditions for the Pro Stock cars would have just gotten worse...
I think I heard the camera they have on the cables move 100 mph. I have to agree with y'all on the 4 wide stuff. good for switching to another if a oil spill to keep from delay's or something. the all out four wide is just for show purposes.
nope..dangerous enough with 2 side by side....i give it a thumbs down
It totally sucks......I want to see two at a time head to head, not have to try to see four going at once.....bull crap......only thing I can see as a pro vrs. a con would be if one lane gets oiled down, then there is an alternate to go to while the clean up is underway.....other than that, I will NEVER attend one....just dumb
I'm in agreement. You don't get the chance to focus on each car and team... and I don't really feel the same sense of competition as I do between TWO adversaries.
It's always a disappointment for me when these events come on.
can you imagine one force car running 3 shu cars??????????
How about 1 Force Car, 1 Schumacher car, 1 Pedragon car and 1 viewers choice car? 8-)
4-wide? pffffbbbbbbbbt!
Waaaay back when I was running stockers with my '56 Dodge D-500 I was frequently "gunning for" one specific competitor or another.
It was great to occasionally win my class, but if I managed to snuff somebody that had beaten me, or maybe some dude who regularly got me PO'ed for whatever reason, well, that was icing on the cake.
Running four-wide would would definitely not have lent itself to "grudge racing" if that's what you wanted to call it.

I want to see one "underdog low-budget single car team" stomp three cars from the mega-dollar teams!!! }:-) Today I have to cheer if the single car teams can just qualify! It' sad. I want to go back to the mid sixties! THAT was the sport that captured my heart.Quote:

seems track wants to peel up and has happened before here---------
Also Gramn should return $$$$$$$$$$$$ to Bob Vandergriff for walking down track after mishap in Atlanta--to force them to stop racing in un safe conditions sorta like this-
AH! I saw the accident and got sick of the race! I turned the TV off and went to bed. I did see the earlier footage of the track concrete being lifted up with the sticky tires.. I don't usually agree with Greg Andersons opinion but right after the Gaines accident, Anderson was politicin' to stop the race before they started the next pair down the track. NHRA blew him off! I'll bet they wish they could revisit that moment.Quote:
