I only run the 1/8 mile if its a 1/4 mile track and they are only running the 1/8 that day. Otherwise I dont care for the 1/8 and only like to run the 1/4. To me 1/4 mile has always been what drag racing is all about. All cars are judged on the 1/4 mile when mags test new cars. Back in the 60's and early 70's you had a fast street car if it ran 12's as they said not if it ran 8's. You know what I mean. I grew up around drag racing and it just seems every car I read about or saw racing was running the 1/4 mile. I dont ever remember reading a mag from the 60's up until now that dont judge or test cars running the 1/4 mile. So maybe thats one reason I like the 1/4 mile so much. Even with my car when I built my latest eng my goal was to run 10's not 6's. Ron
