You know it's funny. I posted this because I've been trying to get my friend to regear his car for the 1/4. I personally don't care for the 1/8 either. And for the comment "90 percent of the races are won on the line" If you race that way you are either VERY good at the line or don't win much. I find action at the stripe at speed a lot of fun. The recent 2 races I won had a couple of "come from behind". Including a .007 stripe on a guy who had a .000 R/T
