Re: Charlotte press conference
To each his own. You keep on watching those 3 second squirts. YAWN!!!!
I guess you must be writing the rulebook for the LODBS as there has been no "OFFICIAL" announcement regarding the distance, and while I heard those rumors I'll wait for an announcement from Lucas Oil. One last thing, tell me one 1000' run that was more exciting than PC's 4.53 , 264 pass at the Finals??? Waiting

Not only Vegas, Indy and RT 66 also have plenty of width and could go 4-wide. Who knows...this could be just the beginning.

Re: Charlotte press conference
That's not an answer to my question. I know you have worked on cars & boats (Toxic Rocket last). So I'll ask again, give me a 1000' run that drew a buzz like that. I can think of MANY 1320' asphalt runs that are unforgettable, but NONE @1000'. Go back and read my original post.

Re: Charlotte press conference
Logically, I would think that the second quickest winner should get the pick of the next three remaining lanes, regardless of who they line up next to!......My biggest question is about how lane choice will be awarded. Obviously low e.t. gets first pick, but what happens if low e.t driver's next pairing has the 2nd quickest e.t.? Will they race side by side in lanes 1 & 2 (or 3 & 4) or will the 2nd quickest e.t. get second choice of the remaining three lanes?

Re: Charlotte press conference
Last qualifying runs of 2009 and the two Championship contenders are in the staging lights.
They both have great low numbers and Dixon's tires are up in smoke.
Schumacher throws down the gauntlet and sends a message to all of the other fifteen qualifiers. He runs right down broadway to card the second quickest 1000 foot pass ever.
Larry Dixon's incremental times: 60ft-0.845 sec., 330ft-2.654, 660ft-5.251/079.54 mph. That should give Tony a two point lead going into tomorrow's eliminations.

Tony Schumacher's last ditch qualifying run did it for me, November 14th, 2009!

Re: Charlotte press conference
LMGDAO ! Maybe have all the NHRA track workers dress up in clown costumes with big shoes.....I can just see them all running across the track picking up blower belts and other puked up parts ! How about a big figure 8 track for Pro Stock ! Just when you think things cant get any worse for this sport.........

Re: Charlotte press conference
Four wide match racing like back in the 60's, as a booked in show, was just that, a show.
I just hate to be the guy who has to work out qualifying matches...
Smith can do what he wants... I check the web after it's over, to heck if I'm watching any racing on TV this season... web cast on Sundays only... for the other races...

4 Wide at zMax
So I saw the announcement on NHRA's site and read another article with competitionplus that PRO was not consulted on this event. Im trying to understand why this is such a big deal? In my opinion this is a huge move in the right direction as far as marketing our sport goes. Ron Capps said he was concerned with the safety of running 4 wide. I dont see any issues here. Anybody else?

Re: Charlotte press conference
It is my understanding that Bruton has got Bennie the bomb out of retirement to perform one last time at this event!
