Just a real question here. Why is everyone so down on 1/8 mile racing? Maybe I'm being too simple here, but it's two cars racing side by side to a finish line. What many of us did on the street umpteen years ago. Yes, the traditional distance is a 1/4 mile. I guess I was brought up on it around here because except for IRP (now ORP) many of the local tracks here in Indiana were 1/8 mile.

Not trying to pick on anyone, you have to still work on getting a car to react, leave hard, not as much mph, yes the races are over sooner.
