    Also when did the every driver needs a nick name thing start? I've probably posted about this before too but I'm not going thru 12 years of posts to double check. I know drivers have always had nick names, usually the best nationally and regionally, but now dam near every driver has 1. Hearing "Ziggy" 40 times in the last 10 laps of last nights race made me think of this.

      The four wide salute is not to show the veteran fans a good time it is about the younger generation of fans getting those goose bumps that you used to get. Let it go and let everyone enjoy what you did at one time.

        Well said. There’s a few things tracks can do to speed the program up. I don’t have a problem with a fan friendly salute that takes maybe 60 seconds to complete.

            Oh come on. Maybe they are doing it for your seven year old and not for you. You ever think about that? Plus when you do it it gives you a couple laps to pack the top and the bottom. something that some tracks just plain old don't do. Matter of fact our local track should do it every week because they ain't about to send a pack truck out there after roll in.

            The problem is the gall dang motors.

              I just can't believe it's come down to complaining about something as petty as this...

              What's next? Why does a track have handicap parking spots?

                My biggest problem is the tracks that do the 4 wide when the show has been dragging on and on and on

                  I wouldn't be upset if they stopped it. Would be cool if they started the race 4 wide though.

                    Agreed. Just another time wasting way of trying to build suspense. The more something is done the less special it is.

                      For Supers - Crown Jewels only. Also, let tracks designate what their biggest race of the year is and only do it then. ....4 wide salutes at a regular weekly show, ugh! Pathetic.

                      And if it’s after midnight, he!l no!

                          I'd prefer a 4-wide start.

                            It started on Late Model Night in America a couple weeks ago.

                              They wore the 4 wide salute out a long time ago unless they want to start them 4 wide.
