    4 wide salutes have wore out their welcome...

    And having one without fans is ridiculous

      They wore out there welcome a long time ago. They should only be done at major events, if at all.

        Like the "Wave" lap. it's a little stale.

        However, the Pittsburgher has a 6 wide - still a thrill.

            I just assume go racing 1 lap sooner. I don’t need the 4 wide parade lap for Late Models.

                Disagree. As a driver I love the 4 wide salute. Gets the adrenaline pumping right in time for the green flag to fly.

                    In my opinion, its like the NASCAR boys doing burnouts after winning. I know its for the drifting age crowd, but my old butt doesn't get excited watching. Old fart syndrome I guess.

                      Yea the burnout crap is old. Remember when all 100 lap races had drivers come out on the front straight away for driver intro's ? Drove me nutz, especially when rain was in the area, or I had a 2 to 3 hr drive home on a work night. If they work the corners before the start you need them to make a few laps up there to smooth and pack it somewhat. The 4 wide is only a couple extra laps,. If they do it, ok. If they don't, that's OK too.

                        Used to think the 4 wide was great but it has waned as I've gotten older. Then I remember there's probably new fans there who are seeing one live for the first time and I get over it remembering back to when I was mesmerized by the sight and sound of it all.

                              I've probably posted this before but, I dont mind it for big events but it's done everywhere now. Its sad watching a 2-2 and a half row 4 wide salute for a 2-3k to win race.
