Just be aware that those nitro fumes will open your sinuses, burn your eyes till you can't see, you'll feel unbalanced, your ears will ring for hours and you'll feel like you just chugged a six-pack...downright awesome!
As for the 4-wide, I'm "old school," and as loud as they may be, I still think drag racing should be only 2 cars side by side, and you only get to see 3 rounds instead of 4.
That said, if you're a horsepower fanatic, you'll love it, no other engine sounds like a nitro burning top fuel engine. It can become an addiction, it has for me

Old school? Dragway 42 in Ohio had side-by-side 4 lane racing in the 60's.
