With the line "the petition, if it exist", sounds like COMP. PLUS has doubts if there was a petition, and if so, was it ever turned in to NHRA???

NHRA competitors vote no on four-wide racing - ESPN
Look at point #4, PRO is concerned about a circus/WWE type event. I wonder why they didn't say a thing about the WWE like actions(predetermined outcomes) we saw in Indy last year?

Maybe a couple of those voting against the boycott were the ones involved in the Indy hijinks
This has been talked about on another forum. Someone posted on another that they had seen the petition and that the force camp did not vote in support of the 4-wide and that it was funny who did.

To me this is one very valid reason to not do it again..........

I'm not so sure that you would get such a landslide vote on the Countdown. Sure, the few major teams (Shoe, Force, etc.) may vote against it, but the Pedregon Brothers, Jeggie, Team Harley, etc. have all proven that it's an equalizer for the less funded teams.holy crap Tim you scared me.

I got a "C" note that says there won't be anymore 4 wide racing in 2010 (as was at the Z-Max) where points to the countdown or championship are factored. Any takers?????

Don't bet on that PJ. Trust me, if NHRA holds another 4-wide with points, THEY WILL COME.

Were there any Indy Hijinks involving Pro Stockers?

The PRO racers, with NHRA points at stake..not in 2010....Wanna bet???? If they do, then any "Pro" member, in my opinion, will be spineless whimps and I will gladly pay up to 2 bets.

You limit it to 2010. Being as there are no more tracks that can run 4-wide, I guess you can't lose.

I expect he will add two lanes at Vegas, but no word yet.
Here's a link to the letter from PRO as well as well as all the teams who voted and what they voted.

Thank you Mr. Murdoch, very interesting.
Mr. Hearn, did you notice the way it was worded???
"Do you WANT to ..."
The drivers did NOT say "WE will not..."
You don't WANT to go to work Friday,...but I bet you go.
I still say... if nhra has more 4-wide races,(and I hope they DO ) the Owners / drivers WILL be there.

I am shocked to see WJ as one of the three who voted for yes.

I don't see the merit in PRO's 4 points.
#1 decreased safety??...there was twice the safety safari
#2 confusion...when they get the tree fixed all will be well
#3 sponsor ID...this was the first time for ESPN also, I'm sure they will improve
#4 circus atmosphere....if they mean more thrill - more excitement - more media, whats wrong with THAT??
