    I'm a big drag racing fan... good thing I live in Indy! lol.

    How do you like the 4 wide?

    Quite honestly, I don't care for it one bit.

    Its alright I was there when they ran it for the very first time a few years ago as an exhibition type thing and it was cool then The only thing I don't like about it is that it cuts the number of races you get to see in half I like it but I wouldn't care of they went back to just normal 2 wide for the spring race

    I think it makes the races harder to watch and cuts the number in half. I'm just not a fan of double wide.
    I have heard they want to make another track like that in vegas. Surely it can't be that popular.

    I agree on it making it harder to watch that's the first I've heard of them wanting to build another in Vegas. Do you know if it's Bruton smith building it or someone else ? I know he owns the track that's already in Vegas.

    I think it is him, he's the one who designed Charlotte I believe.

    I love drag racing,Hope they return to the 1/4 mile someday 1000 ft blows. as far as 4 wide racing goes I am not a fan at all it's more of a circus deal.. guess what happens when four cars crash at the same time someone has to decide who to save first there is just not enough safety equipment ie 4 helicopters to get drivers or fans who might get hurt.
