What Beard is saying is that it's easier to take 5 thousandths stripe on someone at 135 than at 105 (Taking someone through the traps by a tire at 135 will be a tighter MOV than doing the same at 105). Not to mention many guys are staring at the tack for a good part of an 1/8 mile run with less time to size up their opponent. There is an argument that 1/8 mile top end driving is easier because there is less of a variance in E.T.'s between two competing cars, as opposed to if they were racing 1/4.

Fun stuff.

I prefer 1/8th but love it all.
