ZMax is called the Bellagio of drag strips for a reason. Some parts of the grandstands have bucket seats like you find in most stadiums. The main grandstands were built like stadiums as well. There is a lower and middle concourse. There are also bathrooms and concessions on both concourses.

....... I would like to address the fall race held in 2025 .......

please do. there's something odd when you have one of the newest and nicest facilities, loses a race in lieu
of an older facility only 80 miles away.

2025 was the first time a 4wide was in the fall slot. I'm not sure why they decided to do that. We went. I was shocked at how poorly attended it was compared to the spring 4wides we've attended have been. Nobody had to park across the street from the track. They did have the shuttles still and it is pretty nice. Bristol had them so maybe that's something at Bruton Smith tracks??

I'm not sure how the previous two-wide fall events were attended though, but I think they were better attended. Agree, does seem odd. I've never been to the Rock but I wonder how they will compare to vendor space, parking, etc. Seems like read on here once that the Rock is a fairly small facility. I'd like to go but doing so would likely mean a second night in a hotel, so we probably won't go.

What were your thoughts Sam?
