Well, I haven't raced much lately, but if you need an announcer, contact me...
Most larger big money events are going to 1/8 mile, and a few are 1000 feet. Get used to it, guys. With rising costs to run, rent, and insure tracks, and many fast "sportman" cars reaching 180 plus in the quarter, more and more tracks are headed in that direction.
I grew up in Northern Ohio at 1/4 mile tracks, only raced 1/4 mile for the first 20 plus years I've been racing. Having raced and worked at 1/8 mile races, I love 'em. When it comes down to it, 660, 1000, or 1320 feet, bring it on.
