Stock eliminator at the 4 wide
 

At the 4 wide in LV will they be running 4 wide in stock? If so there will be more breakouts then usual. And if so how will it work like the Pro classes the first 2 move on? Or will only the Pro classes run 4 wide.

They only run the pro classes 4 wide. A couple years ago they did let super comp run qualifying4 wide and it was pretty cool.

Be great to see 8-A/SA or some other class of 8 to have fun on the 4-wide. Opportunity to do something different don't come often. I made some passes on the new track a couple weeks ago. When I pulled out from under the tower. It is pretty wild to see 4 lanes of concrete ahead of you. At that time we ran in 3&4 and wow are they smooth as butter. The burnout area was new too and also concrete and some cars were having trouble chattering the tires.
It does take quit a bit of work to prep 4 lanes though. The track did purchase more equipment I see to handle it. Before the track would only use the LED on National events. Not any more. All brand new.

I can't imagine NHRA getting four lanes with the same rollout. They have enough trouble with two lanes. Sure would be hard to judge the stripe from lane 1 to lane 4.

They are running class in Vegas now will they be doing that at the points meet in Vegas next week or only at the National events.

Re: Stock eliminator at the 4 wide
 

No class at points races, only select Nationals and at the Sportsnationals.

In my humble opinion that 4 wide B.S. is to draw in the newbies that get a warm fuzzy from sensory overload when the nitro circus lights the fuse. I enjoy watching class cars "work" during the first 60 feet. It is impossible to watch 2 cars much less 4. 4 wide is a joke. Don Jackson

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to see it this way.

Re: Stock eliminator at the 4 wide
 

It'll be quite interesting to see the difference in the track from the staging lanes, and I'm looking forward to it next week! However, I don't know why they can't try 4 wide Top Alcohol dragsters and T A Funny Cars though, since they rev up their engines like Pro Stock does????

My first drag race was Union Grove, Wisconsin....1965.... everything was 4 wide and a flagman....
