sverble is right-why stop having fun? I wish there were 1/2 mile tracks.
I do enjoy the rush past half track.. dont get me wrong.. but 1/8 mile track will get your track fix hooked up.. just need a car that runs 7.0 or better and you get into the fast car lanes.. no waiting..
Cheers
I don't mean to pick on you but I have heard this used before to get people to go to 1/8 mile. Here is the problem with that statement cars that are geared for the 1/4 mile pull to the end of the track. If you cut the track in half then you will just regear the car to top out in the 1/8 mile. We could run to the 60' mark we would still find a way to get all the performace in 60' as we can. I have seen a lot of 1/8 mile cars break.
Most all the damage I've ever done racing a car was either at the line, or in the first 60' ... Not sure I buy the 1/8 argument saying it's better on the car.
I only like 1/4 - I never could see the point of the 1/8, and driver's races don't intrique me. I go to the track to see fast cars ... It's why pro stock drag racing isn't as much fun to watch as funny car or top fuel IMO.
