As my car gets faster, I am starting to like 1/8 mile more. I go from 0-130mph in the eighth and only gain another 30mph out the back door. Much more excitement with launching and shifting in the eighth then just holding the steering wheel to the quarter.
BINGO!!!!!!!!! and if you don't think it speeds up the program at some of the bigger races you gotta get out more. The faster you go the more enjoyable 1/8 mile racing becomes.
