Honestly though it seems everything even when I was growing up and would read about all the muscle cars everything was judged by the 1/4 mile and most were used to 1/4 mile times or at least in my area. No one ever said their cars runs 7.40's as they said hey it runs 11.70's. And all the mags had 1/4 mile et times when they tested the muscle cars. And all the NHRA and AHRA national events are 1/4 mile up until the fuel cars changed. I guess I never knew so many even raced the 1/8 mile until I got a computer and found out what the rest of the world is doing. I have nothing against 1/8 mile but I guess since I have always raced 1/4 mile I have come to love it. I did race brackets for about 4 years back in the late 70's and early 80's which around here was all 1/4 mile. Ron
