Zmax drag strip

This place is going to be incredible.

Drag Racing Internet Magazine - Competition Plus.com - ZMAX DRAGWAY ROARS TO LIFE

I have two strips within 90 miles of home. One is going to be awesome and the other I dread. One is owned by Bruton Smith and the other the NHRA.

There is a ban on testing. They don't want anyone getting too close to the guy in first place.

Re: Zmax drag strip

The place almost makes the Lowe's Motor Speedway look (well) OLD.

Re: Zmax drag strip

So, has anybody figured out what they plan to do with the extra two lanes yet?

Re: Zmax drag strip

I'd say the most logical is to have one set of lanes for the fuel/alky guys and the other for the prostocks and the rest of the sportsman cars.

Re: Zmax drag strip

The pics of the track look great. Can't wait to see what kind of preformance it brings. Theres been SO much speculation about four lanes, I just wish someone offical from the track, or one of the MR. SMITHS, would explain just how they intend to be used.
