    4 car takes away from the gun fighter aura, two go out one comes back. I like the format of drag racing because it is more one on one. I would like it even better if the teams were only allow one car entry per race. I am sure 4 cars really thunder, cannot imagine what 4 top fuel or funny car pile up would look like think about it.

    Point well taken how about the safety side, pushing it a bit are they not? They knocked off 340 feet cause they needed more shutdown area, one of them gets sideways and Katy bar the door.

    So...a car can lose 2 rounds but still win the final?

    That ain't drag racing!

    IMHO, head to head, one on one, is drag racing the other is just Carnivalism (is that a word?).
    It's just a matter of time before they have a "big'un" but that'll probably just make it more popular.

    Think it was more the weather then the lanes themselves.... With the temp low as it was and all the moisture in the air the stickum thy spray on the track doesn't always work, then the Fuel cars have a tendency to peel the rubber off the track when the lane is cool..... Doubt there had been any prep work done on the other lanes and the slippery conditions for the Pro Stock cars would have just gotten worse...
