Because they can run all 4 lanes at once and speed the show up, or if there is a bad oil down they just switch to the outher too lanes while they clean it up. It keeps the show moving. Thats what I heared. 8) 8) Cool place big $$$$$$$$$$$ spent there.

I heard the owners of the new track (Smith's) are also buying the NHRA and going to take over when they race at the new track after the US Nationals. :shock:
