Stock eliminator at the 4 wide

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.

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....

NY National speedway was 4 wide back in the seventies. It was strange even then.

Honestly I can barely watch one car at a time. But watching and actually racing 3 other cars at the same time might be two different feelings. I live here in Vegas and the cheap seats were sold out for today. My girls were going to check it out but a little expensive to feel the earth shake.
