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

Unfortunately this question has been asked before, and nobody has answered it. Looking at the recent history of communication (or lack there of), I would say no one will answer you till weeks (or months) after the race.....I hope I'm wrong on this.

I'll be there at 7:00 to spectate. Hope to see a decent Mopar turnout at Friday Night Lightz. It's not bracket racing, but it's cheap and can be written off as a fun test and tune session if you don't take it too seriously. $20 to race.

If I check the weather in the AM, I will probably talk myself out of going, so I won't check. I hope to be there by 11am. I will be by myself and will have either a Moparts or a YB shirt on. Say hi if you see me.

I plan on being there when the gates open Saturday. I'm hoping for a good turnout, KilKare is a pretty cool track that hooks GREAT!

Yea, I'd rather go to Indy or St. Louis but I think everyone will be surprised by how good KilKare is.
