4 wide Sportsman cars at Charlotte?

[NewHemi]

I saw the episode of Pinks when they ran four wide at Charlotte , and it was a lot less exciting to me that I thought it would be..

Seems like just a way to get three people eliminated faster... and after a couple of runs, it feels like it takes away the "mano a mano" or more politically correct, the "one on one" nature of drag racing...

I do agree about running qualifiyng four wide as it would speed things up...

I have been to both races and last year it rained early but dried on both Thursday and Friday. The pits to me are pretty good. The access to staging is on wide roads and most of the pit area has crusher run or hard grass. I think its pretty good, better than Indy in a lot of ways. On another note, I hope that they don't run Sportsman 4 wide. I won't be able to get the great wheelstands you guys do. Have a great shot of Cook & Hawk at Indy last year. Hope to see you all there.

I dont get why everything has to be speeded up though.

Another reason I don't like it is that it simply looks strange with two strips next to each other. Looks like something that only exists in video games.
