They shortened all the points races where they crashed a T/S car in 08. Sandy Wilkins crashed at Pittsburgh last year. Its probably not too short, its too bumpy. I feel the bumps in my S/S car. And I don't even feel the bumps in the S/S car that get the dragster bouncing the rear tires off the ground... Get over it, either go or don't go, who cares. At this point they(IHRA) will either lose the people that don't want to race 1/4 mi there so its a wash either way. 1/8th mile is alot less wear and tear on the race car and thats a good thing to me.
I don't care for the drive and the lack of scales. Couple hundred thou in lighting and $500 scales?!!... but I'll probably still go. Three events in one, thats three chances for me to screw up... or maybe find an accorn..
