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 actually own a retail business and we are open on Saturday's. I also often times am on the road on Sundays work related as well. So because of time being valuable to me, if I am going to alter my schedule to race, it will be 1/4 mile. That's just me. If my schedule allowed more free time, and I could race a lot more, an occasional 1/8 mile event would be fine.... But unfortunately, that isn't the case
