Doesn't bode well for the eight mile. I shift into high gear just before the 1/8 mile mark.

Art,

I understand that some cars, like yours, would find the change over difficult but others that state they don't like 1/8 mile would only have to make a few changes to keep their cars competitive.
I race a max wedge and set it up the same way for both distances.
I just think it's time that some of the so called "purists" drop their attitude and consider going "drag racing" where ever there is a track and under any association. Our sport is racing, why not take advantage of any opportunity that offers itself.
