Am I alone on this one?....

I'm assuming the folks that want to see 4 wide starts don't have to pay the bills on a race car. Can you even imagine the carnage?

Clearly and loudly, tell me the car number, driver's name, driver's hometown, and car description. Announcer can then pack the microphone in his bag and go home because 99 out of 100 times, spectators can't hear anything anyway.
All the other pomp and ceremony crap is just that ............. crap!
Charlotte does scare the bejesus out the fans with the smudge pot explosions........... and the cannon fire at VMS will rattle the nerves but I have seen enough of that too.

Four wide salutes yes driver intro no.

My thoughts exactly. It is still always fun to see a 4-wide before the nightcap. Doesn't take long, a couple minutes tops. Nothing worse than driver intros at smaller races. The drivers don't care, you MIGHT get one of them to raise their hand up with a half wave. Unless it is a big race and the drivers are interactive (i.e. throwing frisbees or t-shirts or something), no need for it.

Yeah but its kinda like when my dad said Nascar should get rid of restrictor plates. I reminded him how fast they would be going and he replied, "all drivers have the same pedals. Let each driver decide how to use them pedals, based on their talent level and ball size." lol

I love seeing them go 4 wide personally.

The first time I ever saw the 4 wide salute was back in around 94 or 95. My brother who was about 12 at the time leaned over to my dad, and said "They'll never get through turn one" as serious as could be. We still have fun at his expense over that when we go to the track and they do it.!!

I think its meant more as sarcasm, but I could be wrong. LOL. Maybe a Le Mans style start, park the cars on the front stretch facing out from inside wall and have everyone run to their cars, strap in and take off. The 3 & 4 wide salute is just a lame knock off and demonstrates a lack of creativity in promotion. We need more showman and fewer politicians, across the board.

That would not be fair to Jason, Chub, Terry Phillips, Bloomer, or Dennis Franklin. Someone like Kevin Weaver or Mike Hamerlee might have a heart attack.

I think the first one I ever saw I was 8-9 years old it was at West Plains for the Show-Me, I'd like to say they had like 104 cars and they had them all out on the track doing a parade lap it was awesome. 4-wide all the way around the track pretty much. This would have been 1995 or 1996.

[Snowmanracr21]

the 4 wide salute is a World of Outlaws sprint car thing and is still awesome at every Outlaws show along with Johnny Gibsons famous call......any other is just a copy

Some things at the track, like a 4 wide salute. Are not done old grizzled 4m fan that has been to thousand races and knows everything. Some things are done to get new fans and kids excited. If kids and new fans are excited and into it, that's kind of important to the future of our sport. It's worth the extra 5 minutes for that reason alone.

Bingo!

These guys are just bored and want to b!tch.

[70satomic]

No more 4 wide salute 's
