Haha, As long as it’s heads up!

Yes, looking at the grandstands it seems attendance is also faultering and the so called "FourWide" is not the draw!

I think the 4 wide deal, while cool, is looking like it's giving less of a show. With 16 cars or less, you have at most 4 runs per category per session, throw in carnage and lesser funded teams skipping sessions and some "quads" are 2-3 cars. The fuel category runs are already over very fast, I think this format just diminishes the show by having cars on the track for roughly 1/2 the time.

I agree completely, and have been thinking this since the beginning of the 4 wide format. It cuts the show about in half. Great for the ADHD crowd, but not great for me. Needless to say, I don't like like it. By the way, I thought we put the 4 wides during the "regular season", so we wouldn't have to suffer through it during the Countdown. I guess not.

Only 11 cars ran in the final TF session. Also, how many runs were actually "4" wide ? I haven't counted but I think there is a good chance that between qualifying and eliminations most of the runs in nitro were 3 cars or less.
