4 wide Sportsman cars at Charlotte?

W J · 03-16-2010, 07:22 PM

Like it says, will any of the Sportsman classes be running 4 wide at the upcoming Charlotte event? Or, just the Pro classes only? Anyone in the know....Thanks. WJ

From what I saw somewhere ( i cant remember where) that they are not running any sportsman 4 wide. They are assigning lanes by class so your always running out of the same lanes all weekend. So SS could run out of the right 2 lanes while SC could be running out of the left 2 lanes. I would think they will then have to pit you on the side you are running other wise it could be a long drive. There may be a problem for the guys running 2 classes out of different lanes.

It would be pretty hard to the a little stripe on three cars.

Think before you type.

Sorry Jim. I guess your just too "old school" and not familiar with the latest hi-tech gadgets used these days.

That would be better than Top Fuel but other people would argue with that. Make that a all Chevy line up in all four lanes also!

I'm saying that it is impossible to race four cars in a break out.

I'll see you and Rock this weekend at No Problem.

No more comments from you Myronee! Jim
