The weather sources have been forecasting rain this event weekend for the last several days…..I have been looking for event policies on virtually every web site relevant….starting to get a little reserved with my decision on this gig.

Could/would someone from the desk of authority chime in on this please?…..I didn’t post this on the monster site as this site seems to be more current.

I'll never understand why making a race 1/8th mile would keep racers away?

The shutdown at KilKare is a little on the short side for faster cars so I applaud the 1/8th mile decision.

It's real tough to explain..... But I will try....... Lots of people( me included) wouldn't miss work, spend money, etc, to go race 1/8 mile somewhere. Know many people who don't like 1/8 mile, they like the higher speed and more traditional racing 1/4 offers.
I know I am not a professional racer, so with me if I race, it's gotta be how I like it.... 1/8 ain't how I like it

Worried about spending money... 1/8 is easier on parts, less gas used down the track. Not to mention its Sat-Sun race most people (I understand some do) don't work weekends anyways, so taking time off work isn't needed. This arguement does not make sense to me. I understand the speed of the 1/4 (I like it better myself) but the thrill of cutting a light, driving the stripe, and winning the round is still the same. Hey 1/8 or 1/4 it pays the same! Lets not forget hanging out with our race buds and throwing a few back after the race.. pretty sure 1/8 won't hinder this party.

Just my

I love 1/4 mile racing but I will never let a 1/8 mile race stop me from attending. We just had close to 500 cars at the No-Box Bonanza at Norwalk and its format was changed to 1/8 mile. In my eyes it was a SMART move. 3 days, 5 time trials, Mother Nature stopping in for a small delay and all went well. If you can't get excited in an occasional 1/8 mile race step up your program and go a little faster. Be safe guys and have FUN.

Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52

Livin and lovin life one day at a time
