Meanwhile in the first two lanes, the next pair is pulling up to burnout box. This should cut the time it takes to run a class almost in half. If they don't do it this way, why have a 4 lane track?

Also, why are there weepers at this track? Its relatively new in the drag racing world. It should have been built with the best drainage or raised above the rest of the area to prevent such weeping.
Chris that is an interesting idea but I think it may cause some confusion, its hard enough to get some guys to choose between L and R lanes then you would have guys who would want to run in one set of lanes versus the other.
I don't ever recall there being trouble with weepers here before but not surprised with the amount of rain this week they already had then 1" plus on Thursday night, probably didn't help things.
