Default Multiple Track Question

Are there any tracks in the US that have more than two lanes? I was thinking to myself how cool it would be to see three to four people race at one time at a track, instead of the regular two. I'm talking for fun also, not for competition.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see a race like this, I'm just the only one that will be honest and say that I would like to see such a thing. Better than racing 4 ppl on a street....

Las Vegas was designed and built to have 4 lanes on the strip. It is one of Burton's ideas to enable a live telecast of a drag race. If there is an oil down, the race switches to the other two lanes.

This feature should be mandatory at the PanAms.

Race Legal in San Diego has two 1/8th mile tracks set up at Qualcomm Stadium. They don't have all four cars race eachother, but they'll let one side go, then the other.

They also won't allow faster cars to tech in anymore without a full NHRA inspection. If you going there might want to pick up an NHRA book before hand. Street killers are not allowed and has to have exhaust QUIT unless your a V-8

RaceLegal will launch the two tracks at the same time for a few crowd pleasers. The two tracks are separated by barriers to help prevent a crash on track moving over to the other track.
