Are they making a habit of that now? I remember seeing the video with funny cars last year but that was an exhibition pass i thought.
That was an exhibition pass last year. Zmax is the only place the "4 wide" will happen, due to the fact that they would need more four lane dragstrips.It was fun to watch, but turned into a bit of a clusterfuck, due to racers having to wait for three other people to stage.......that and not being able to see two of the people you're racing against as you go down the track. I don't think some of the racers were too happy about it.

Anyway...
When they run regular races out there do they alternate tracks then? Seems to me like it'd suck being on the wrong side (as a spectator) if they keep running down one pair of lanes.

It's not like you're really missing anything sitting an extra 30'-50' away.
