I must be totally out of the loop. I glanced up at a TV this weekend and the drag strip was 4 lanes. Crazy. Never seen that before. Nice track. I believe it is in Charlotte, NC.

Sure would make eliminations go faster. :crazy:

Yes, its Zmax Dragway in Charlotte. Built a few years ago right beside Charlotte Motor Speedway. I went to a Pinks All Out there a couple years ago.

I bet that was fun. Were you a participant??

I bet it looks cool when all 4 cars come off the line with their front wheels about a foot off the ground. Whoo hoo....red neck Heaven.

:woot:

I didn't have anything to participate with. Besides one guy with a S14, the only other Nissan product was a Z32 that made the field of 64 (high 9/low 10 second grouping).

Most guys don't mind going there either since Concord Mills has a huge bass pro shops.

If you like BPS, you will have to come to Memphis when they finish our new one. It is going to be in that big pyramid on the river. Supposed to have all kinds of cool stuff in it including a restaurant at the very top over looking the river.

Concrete walls help with that, at least that gets you back to just 1 idiot to worry about.
