I have been so frustrated because we have very few opportunities to run the ¼ mile here in So. Cal.

Congrats on the 9-second timeslip!
Once you go south of the Maryland-Virginia line, most tracks are 1/8 mile in VA, NC, SC. MIR and VMP are the 1/4 mile tracks and they are on the north end of that area (DC, Richmond). To attract 1/8 mile racers, MIR is considering having both a 1/8 and a 1/4 mile points series in 2010.
