Re: Charlotte press conference

So pro qualifying will now last 1/2 hour? How is ESPN gonna stretch that out?

Unless the winner and runner up from each round advance to the next round. Lots of questions to be answered.

Re: Charlotte press conference

if it is a 4 lane championship event . than i think its a crap idea. dont mess with formula of things... if it was a bonus event on the saturday evening like the shootout then great .. just not a championship round. would be awefull

Re: Charlotte press conference

Re: Charlotte press conference

Might as well add Fonzie jumping over the track on water skis because NHRA has officially "jumped the shark" now.

Just proves how boring the sport has become when they have to resort to this.

Re: Charlotte press conference

Does anyone else remember the original discussion about 4-wide racing. I think it occurred during track construction. It went something like.........4- wide racing at Bruton's new track might be cool.......NHRA response "THAT WILL NEVER EVER HAPPEN......DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT" And now this.........

P.S. I may be paraphrasing .....a bit

Re: Charlotte press conference

Another question.... How will 4 lanes be policed at the same time? Where will Rick stand?

Re: Charlotte press conference

WOW what a joke..... thank you NHRA for insuring that we will never go to the Charlotte track. And what about the points as if that matters these day's what a stupid thing to have for a national event.
Last year when they did the exhibition run with the past round loser's was kinda cool but this is crap.

Re: Charlotte press conference

Maybe they can have some monster trucks jump over the lanes during the runs.

That would be great if tehre was a staging battle in all 4 lanes in pro stock,the Iceman couldnt take it lol.

Re: Charlotte press conference

I think it is a PR guy's dream. NHRA will get a lot of mileage out of this event, and it will hopefully spill over interest into the other normal 2 lane National events. I think its all good, and am 100% for it!!!!

I suspect this is probably a bigger advantage and driving point behind it. Drag Racing doesn't translate well to live TV because of the down time and delays. This making LIVE TV a possibility would be a big selling point IMHO.

Re: Charlotte press conference

Since this is happening, now they REALLY need to make Indy a double points race.

Nothing like stealing thunder from what should be your biggest event.
