Isn't the National Event planned for this track next year going to be an 1/8 mile event.Could be they are just working up to that. Also, has anyone seen the article in Drag Illustrated with Aaron and Scooter. If you read that, you may get some idea why they are looking to some races on shorter tracks. The article states that Pro Modified, for example, is closer racing with more cars capable of winning on the 1/8 mile than 1/4 mile. Just look at the ADRL deal.The top three or four cars are faster on the second half of the 1/4. The rest of the pack is pretty even on the 1/8 hence more racers with an opportunity to win.
