IHRA has run 1/4 mile at Bradenton in the past at pro am events. There were about the same number of cars no matter what the length track we were running on. I don't understand why some don't want to run 1/8th mile. Personally I like it. its easier on your equipment and it actually will make you better at driving the stripe because you have to make your decisions much faster as to lift of leg it out the back door. We all have 1/8 mile numbers for data.
It will be interesting to see if Bradenton goes NHRA and if they give them a points race. it is a nice facility but short on pit space for a big points race turn out.
