28K horsepower on the track at once

I wonder how many miles away you'd be able to hear this from?

For the first time in NHRA history, modern Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars will race four-lanes, four-wide, unleashing a powerful assault of 28,000-horsepower on spectacular zMax Dragway.

In what is sure to be a must-see demonstration of the ultimate in high-horsepower performance, four NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and four NHRA Funny Cars will race in a four-wide configuration during separate races in a special exhibition event just prior to the final round of the NHRA Carolinas Nationals, on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Sounds dangerous. Is this a new purpose built four lane strip?

You did notice there's a wall between the two pairs of lanes, right? It's no different than any single pair of cars running down the track.

^Nope I didn't notice the wall .

But then again I've seen races where cars get some good air and jump barrier walls.
