DVW, definitely a safety factor as well, agreed. Of course my stuff can handle a couple more seconds WOT. I built the car for 1/4 mile. But crossing the 1/8 at 7,100 compared to 7,800 on the 1/4 mile, ya I’d say it makes a difference on my wallet.

John, I’m with you buddy. Faster you go, more fun the 1/8 is and I definitely agree it’s faster of a program. Most breakage occurs after the 1/8 mile, and then it’s a longer cleanup. I’ll also agree with 1 time trial.

Guys who don’t race all season long, then pull their stuff out of the garage and head to the Mopar race at Norwalk for 1/4 mile. Then we are all sitting for hours on end for track cleanup.
