The stripe comes up much faster time wise in the 1/8 you only have about 5 1/2 seconds to make your decision. It has certainly helped me judge the stripe better. we race quite a bit of 1/8 mile with IHRA and the SSSSA here in Fla. I just like to race so I go to both. The IHRA races that I go to are all regular NHRA guys too so its pretty much the same group. We have about an equal amount of IHRA and NHRA races here in FL. Its not better or worse just fun to get out and race. Its been a tough year for me engine wise. 3 major engine failures in the past year so I will be happy to be able to get back out to the track at the beginning of the year.
