Its leaning that way everywhere Ken. Your local track Quaker City runs their box class 1/8 mile. Keystone switched their box class to 1/8 mile too after a dragster lost his brakes and totaled his race car. Funny thing is I have to run 1/8 mile (9.40's) and there are a couple of 8 second door cars in no box class. LOL. Not sure but I think Dragway 42 switched to 1/8 mile for their box class too but I'm not positive on that one. I've gotten used to it at the bigger races so its not an issue to me. The faster your care is the more fun 1/8 mile racing is for me. Racing by myself and having to pack a chute would make it seem like work. At least Norwalk passed out a survey and took a vote.
