Quickly reading through this thread, you can see a very clear split between the type of people who enjoy one vs the other or both.

One thing I noticed, those guys who I would consider more serious racers, guys who race a lot, like both 1/8th and 1/4. Those guys on here who race a couple times a year, or who are in it for the "go fast" mentality, are the only ones saying its 1/4 or nothing. Yes I understand there are exceptions to this...

You can probably guess which side I fall on.





I posted earlier, and don't/ didn't fall into the " loves 1/4 mile but races seldom camp"
The years I race, I race all the time

I think where you are from has more to do with what you prefer than how often you race.
In the South, the greatest majority of tracks are 1/8 mile, so that is all many in those areas have ever done.
Myself, living in Michigan, all the tracks around here(US131, Milan, Stanton, Osceola) have all always been 1/4 mile.
So I think a lot of it has to do with tracks you were weaned on.
