I get it, so now, when parents spend their hard earned cash to buy tickets to take their kids to an "old fashioned" and "inferior" drag racing event, you know, the "boring" kind, with "only" two lanes, the kids are going to be kicking, screaming, protesting and crying, saying, "I WANNA GO HOME, THIS IS BOOORING, THERE'S ONLY TWO CAR RACING, I WANNA SEE FOUR CARS, I WANNA SEE FOUR CARS LIKE I SAW ON TV!!"... I know some of you think I might be exaggerating, but from what I've seen after working at drag strips for a number of years, sitting inside the Drag Racing Underground tent, I've seen it all, and I assure you that kids can get pretty d*rn temperamental at the drags when they feel they're getting shortchanged, like when going to the concession stand, if you get 'em an ice cream cone with "only" two scoops, when they wanted four, there's going to be h*ck to pay-- I know, I know, not ALL kids are like that, but many of them are... If this "four lane" thing takes off and receives lots of exposure, it is going to cause problems for drag strips that don't have the space or budget to extend their facility to four lanes... Look, I'm not trying to be a "wet blanket" on this issue, I'm really not, and yes, I admit that I'd like to hear what it sounds like when four nitro burning monsters simultaneously shred rubber down the track, I'd be lying if I denied that I would like to "experience" that in my lifetime, I guess it's kind of like hearing Jimi Hendrix play out of four big Marshall cabinets instead of just one, however, if this gets on TV and becomes the kind of thing that gets played over and over, you're going to see the younger generations start snubbing their noses at the two lane format...
