Random thought about the *HRA

I started racing in 1968, so I've seen a lot of changes, right up to where we are now. It was the heads up runs I was referring to with 2 second under cars, not the handicapping.

I've seen low car counts at a lot of places, including NHRA events.

I know you won't run the 1/8 mile races, but what about 1,000 ft, you know, the crossover I'm talking about. Understand that I too really like the 1/4, but with insurance and the likes, and with 1/4 mile tracks running the 1/8 instead, it just made me think of an alternative, that's all.

You can park your car or you can run it, it is your car.

And BTW, who came up with 1/4 to begin with.
