How about we get Lasater to line up his V8 HHR against all of them? Now that would be fun to watch!

That 4 lane, not a fan. Been there, & still prefer the old school 2 lane drags.

Back before everybody was under a sanctioning body's rules, they used to do 4 lane "drag racing" on abandoned airport runways where 4 cars would start at the same time, race in their lane until the roundabout... The roundabout was a one lane free for all, and then they would come back in their own lane again to the start/finish line... No wonder they started having sanctioning body's to protect idiots from themselves.

I use to race at NY National Speedway , Center Moriches LI NY.
It was IHRA and then AHRA sanction. They did 4 lane drags.
In this video you will see two things.
01:38 Is the car I helped with and should have bought.
03:21 Is footage of racing 4 cars at a time.
That track is long gone, but the drag strip is the main avenue today for the housing project that was built around it.
