Pittsburgh ran Fuel cars there before they added 300 ft. to the finish line ,TV tommy Ivo ran the first 5 second dragster there in the early '70's....Let TS &TD run 1/8 th....It's not too short for the rest of the sportsmen.

Its not too short, its too bumpy. Get over it! Also a "National event track" should have more than individual wheel scales in the gravel. Thats obsurd! Its also WAY too short beween the water box and the starting line even though you drive a hundred feet outta the lanes down to the water box!???. And I've cooked the brakes on the motorhome twice getting from the turnpike to the track. But hey, they do have really nice lighting! But I'll never go there again..

Pittsburg is just like every other race track, there are good and bad things about it. Here is a good one that I heard from a customer of mine: He told me that he heard that Quaker City did not have a Pro-Am this year because they didn't make any money at the 2008 divisional!! All that I can say about that is WTF??? If they didn't make any money at that race.........that means I have never been to a divisional that has. It seemed to me that there were more spectators there on Saturday night than I have ever seen at any Pro-Am. Moral of the story is I think sometimes we don't always get the whole story. There has to be reasons that IHRA didn't go back to Quaker City and Milan. Whether it is IHRA's fault or not, it happened and we have other choices. I really wish that they did go back, but there are tons of options for us living in division 3. We have division 1 and 5 as realistic alternates, remember you only have to run 4 in division races.

I am with you guys. Quaker City had to make money. The stands on the right side of the track were full and there were people clear past the finish line watching. I walked by the concession stands and there was always a line there as well.
I hope everyone gives this new format, new division layout, and race distances a chance.

How 'bout 1000'???
