So how do we figure out if your a real Racer or not.

By some Defintions your a real Racer if your willing to Race any distance.

By other yard sticks your not a real Racer unless you run it out the back door.

It gets so confusing at times

But Racer or not I will race both, just call me Hillbilly



Most days I don't even call myself a racer.

My experience has been that most who dislike 1/8th mile suck at it.



My opinion is that many who dislike 1/8 mile racing are older guys( like myself) who have always raced in the Northern tier of states where there never were any 1/8 mile facilities around and thus never had the option of 1/8 racing...
My self, Martin is nearest me, and has always been 1/4 mile. Same with Milan, same with Oceola when I raced there, same with Stanton( until recently) and even Ubly when I went over there for Mopars against the world was contested on the 1/4.
Even Lapeer( as far as I know) has always been 1/4. And I have never raced at Norwalk where class I was in( pro or 10.0) wasn't on the quarter.

So I don't know that its " not good at it" so much as its what you cut your teeth on.
I know I went to several ADRL racesseveral years ago, but stopped attending them last several years because they run the whole program on 1/8, and as a spectator, I didn't enjoy it as much.
