NHRA 4 Wide Nationals in Charlotte, NC April 13-15, 2012

The world’s fastest drivers unleash a 32,000 horsepower assault on zMAX Dragway! The stars and cars of the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series return to the Bellagio of drag strips at zMAX Dragway, April 13-15, for the third-annual NHRA Four-Wide Nationals.

Sunday's Eliminations tickets are $50 (Sections A-C & S-W) and $60 (Sections D-R) for reserved seats in the John Force Grandstand, $50 for reserved seats in the East Grandstand and $45 for GA in the East Grandstand.

When I was down there in the Fall of '10, we stayed at the Holiday Inn at Executive Park in Charlotte.

Right now they're showing rates for a 2 double bed non-smoking room $108 and 1 queen and sleep sofa non-smoking room for $108.
