This Is INSANE

I hate the four wide

[@jagonzales12]

Great news for Jack Beckman! I'm old school, don't like the 4 wide racing. But NHRA runs the show. I guess we will have to fine out how it goes next season.

[@patrickcardon7114]

The 4 Wide is not as interesting on TV because it is too congested to follow for a 3 second race. Maybe cool when you're at the race. Pitiful on television.

[@Bamalivin2022]

Thanks for the news MM! nice work. Super cool news for Jack and team Force! anxious to hear what the rest of the team is doing. 4 wide...I HATE it. It's the only races I don't watch all year. Never been a fan, never will be.

[@JLawson-2]

I can’t stand the 4 wide crap!!

[@lancelittle3956]

It's nice to see the progress you've made since the beginning of the 2024 racing season. You're more openly accepted by some Pro's now. It's nice to see. They're relaxed and smiling during your time with them. You have their attention and it appears that they're comfortable in your presence. You're dedication and willingness to keep getting better at this is paying off.

[@carypyke935]

Thank you for your coverage and hard work...as for 4-wide..NO NO NO ...not a fan..

[@Eric-nd3mn]

4 wide is a rip off for being there in person. Ends to soon and you can't follow all of it.

[@aakar88]

Excellent reporting, MM

[@theawesomenesschannel148]

I get why they did it but i say keep the 4-wide for the regular season

[@christophersanders5007]

One of the problems I see with 4-wide during count downs is track maintenance. Keeping on top of two lane oil downs is hard enough, four lanes could cost a team.

[@EdwardDean-z4f]

All I follow is Drag and Drive and no prep drag racing. I used to go to the US Nationals every year. Last time was 2018. And I started in 1974.

[@mikebaker9574]

Stupid move!!

[@Ch3no2-r7e]

I live in charlotte and have been to both. Last year i waited to go to the fall race because of play offs. The 4 wide is good for newby's but not real race fans. The past four years has been hard on all sports. NHRA tickets have gotten pricey and everything is credit only and food and T-shirts are too much. they will not see more people with out bringing cost down some to bring in new race fans. I was hoping to get rid of 4 wide all together. i hope spring race is not 4 wide too. 4 wide back in the day was just a gimmick to get people out to the races back then. Bring back the showdown of funny against the Rails. That was cool and i was there in Bristol.

I do not like the four wide racing. It goes too fast and it’s not entertaining specially if you have to watch it on TV it’s not as long stick to what you have the fans want a good drag race like the old drag racing and really NHR it’s all about money for you and the owner of the track. Yeah the trucks need to make money but You got tracked out here that has been open for a very long time and NHRA just totally ignores them will not give them a good racing. Why not give them some professional races I know a track it’s been out since 1963 then they have spent a lot of money upgrading and improving and NHR still will not give them anational meet and give them a divisional meeting and then they take half of that away and then you get tracks it’s brand new that come in and they NHR up and give them a national event with professionals. I’m sorry there’s something wrong with that picture. It sucks.

[@markroberts9577]

4 wide racing in person might be exciting. But to try and watch on tv is rather difficult. Fox needs to do a better job promoting the race events and times.

[@Eric-nd3mn]

It's hard to follow and goes by too quick. I go to the vegas one just to smell nitro but I don't prefer it.

[@georgetowninsulation8569]

Please tell me the spring race is old skool drag racing

[@aakar88]

Spring will be 4 wide, 3 races now, bet they destroy Vegas 2 in the future also

[@mattcaporuscio6956]

As far as the countdown goes I would say yes it’s an interesting idea but with that said I want more details on how to grow NHRA instead of this.

[@AndrewCurwood]

I'm from Australia 🇦🇺 never liked the 4 wide idea. But.....why not have 2 Top fuller's in 2 lanes and 2 Funny cars in the 2 lanes next door. Then when those sessions are completed. Have 2 Pro stockers in 2 lanes & 2 Pro Stock Bike in the other 2 lanes. Just an idea 💡

[@aakar88]

More gimmicks we don't need

[@chickenbuttdeluxe]

The only problem with 4 wide racing is that it doesn't suck enough , and it has NO PLACE in the countdown.. just saying...

[@vehdynam]

It's all about the money, unfortunately.

[@michaelquebedeaux7738]

Anything said about Dickie Venables going to Kalitta Motorsports? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TechieGuy72]

330 to the 1/8th? It's actually 300 to the 1/8th.

[@MightyMack03]

You're right. Completely got it confused. Been a long day.

[@BussDiver]

To the people saying “NO” and “stupid” or “bad for tv” is the reason why NHRA isn’t doing well. Why not support this? It creates excitement for the playoffs. Sure could NHRA and fox do a better job with broadcasting….yes…same with NASCAR. Everyone has the same problem. Support what you’re a fan of, and buy your “one ticket” for the year and STFU

[@mikebaker9574]

@@BussDiver I can tell you're not a long time fan of drag racing

[@BussDiver]

@ I’ve been a fan long enough to recognize what NHRA is trying to do. It sucks to see the “fans” lack of support for something that brings a different dynamic to the playoffs. I get it, don’t change anything and allow NHRA to not grow.

[@mikebaker9574]

@@BussDiver changes can be made, BUt only for the better.i assume you were a fan when the 4 wide was first introduced,if you recall,every pro was against it.

[@aakar88]

@BussDiver You don't get it. Gimmicks like 4 Wide do nothing to improve the sport, might as well have pre determined winners if the entertainment becomes more important than the competition. Maybe the drivers should get in a wrestling ring and duke it out after the race LOL!!!

Fox sports sucks ,watching it tv when they show the stands half of the seats are may.ive been going to the races since the 60s but I’m done with it

[@ripemm5737]

It’s hard enough to watch 2 cars going 330 mph in a 1000 ft ,trying to watch 4 0f them at the same time is ridiculous.4 wide sucks.nhra is going down,when watching it on fox w

[@garyhoward2490]

4 wide is stupid!!! To much track maintenance...the viewer can't watch 4 cars at once. We have to rely on multiple replays to find out what has taken place. Frustrating for the audience. Yeah...there is twice the noise, for the on site crowd...but???? A lot of us don't like it!!! ...me...I won't watch, or support any 4 wide event. I am definitely NOT alone. Just Stop It!! It's dumb. I get that you gotta dabble in different things. But 4 wide is DUMB!!!
