As far as I am concerned drag raging is a 1/4 mile. Always has been all my life. All the road test of muscle cars was the 1/4 mile. Most of my life 5 and 6 second cars were nitro dragsters and funny cars. Sure cars are way faster today but I don't care for and never will like the 1/8 mile. I never even heard of an 1/8 mile track in my area until the early 90's. And all the tracks in my state are still 1/4 mile tracks even if they may run 1/8 mile sometimes. Ron
Yep. When they advertize the new Demon, etc, they dont say it runs 6.20’s or whatever in the 1/8, they say it runs 9.60’s in the 1/4
Most people i know who go to a race as casual fans and see cars lifting at the 1/8 are dissapointed that they dont “ run the whole track”. Lots of these 1/8 mile sanctioning outfits like PDRA, etc, dont last because of it.
