I've raced 1/8th, 1000', and 1/4. It's all good. 1000' is my favorite... best of both worlds, closer handicaps than 1/4, more speed than 1/8th. Seriously, cars are just riding after 1000'. It's not a big deal. They'd have to come up with all new indexes to implement S/SS on 1000', however, so it's unlikely. Race distance is typically predicated on whatever the fastest class on the property is.
I know you consider yourself an expert here, but I disagree with you about this one. I find driving the stripe much easier 1/8th mile. Just don't think it is as much fun. I find it boring. Just will no longer do it. Tried it, don't like it. Your first sentance contradicts your statement.
