To me its always been the 1/4 mile all my life. If someone ask's how fast a car is or a mag road test a car its always in the 1/4 mile. Whats a new Hellcat run ???? 11.0's not 7.0's. I have raced 1/8 mile and still like the 1/4 much better and I guess since all my life every car I ever talked about in drag racing was always talked about the 1/4 mile time.
I can understand since with power adders and all the tech today that even door cars can get big speed in the 1/4 as I could see making real fast top speed cars run the 1/8 to be safer but as for me I will always prefer the 1/4 as thats what drag racing has always been to me. Ron
