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.

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.

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....
