They're going to 1/8 mile because that's what guys want to run. Most of the big money brackets is 1/8. The event moves faster, less wear and tear (expense) on the car, and the car can be set up for it and left alone.
Who is “ they”?
The guys who attend those big money races constitute only a small percentage of people who go to a track. Very small percentage
They run 1/8 because that stuff got started in the South mainly where most tracks are 1/8 mile. And the guys who attend are ultra hard core and indeed do prefer it more as a business than a hobby or passion
US131 has a very well attended points bracket race season that pays well. Has forever.
Gonna guess between box and no box probably 100 guys give or take race points.
Out of those 100 guys bet there werent 15 of them that attended the 50/125/ 50 big money race held at 131 earlier this year. I watched a good bit of it. Mainly double entered hitters from all over that travel to race.
