    Was there ............ Bruton is definitely turning drag racing into a circus ....... haven't seen anything so stupid (or dangerous) since watching four gassers go off side by side at Great Meadows, NJ in 1964

    Maybe next year we can have top fuelers parachute dropped into the facility ....... no wait .......... a pair of top fuelers trying to jump a line of 30 blazing school buses .......... no wait .......... maybe .....

    oh well....guess some people dont want to get their moneys worth.
    I dont see why it was dangerous at all. There was a wall between them just as if they were side by side and plenty of traction compound down on the left lanes.
    All teams were out so it was a add bonus for the fans.

    The center wall was in place ......... however there was no wall between the left two cars or the right two cars ........ luckily none of the cars had problems and wandered out of their single lanes

    I can't believe that the NHRA allowed this stunt, especially after banning this type of exhibition back in the '70's........... oh wait, I forgot, money overrides all rules
