because there are cars going over 200mph in the eighth, on radials...
they'd be doing close to 250 in the 1/4. at those speeds, someone is going to get killed. they are also harder to stop from those speeds, because of their weight. it's also harder on parts at that power level.

how fast is your car?




So because some people over built a car for the 1/4 mile then only make it half a race since they can't handle a full race? Easier on parts and safer 1/8 mile as YOU said someone is going to get killed??? Overbuilt for the sport so change the rules --- smh
