How much HP does it take to go the additional 660. Have you ever done a full pass with no throttle stop. What is the delta of MPH 660-1320. Not to many years ago Kenny Bernstein was the first to 300mph in the 1/4. Now Mike Salinas has done that in 660' and his 1000' was 330 MPH. Many tracks were 3/16ths back in the 50's and 60's I know for a fact the the original South Mountain "QUARTER ACES" was a 1000' 3/16 of a mile. They called it Quarter Aces because that was the name of the car club not how long the track was. I read somewhere and I wish I had the article that Wally Parks originally wanted 1/8 mile but because back before his time they use to race against Quarter Horses. Change makes change I miss Modified Eliminator... Makes me think what needs to be done to keep our sport thriving...
