Not suggesting 1/8 at a 1/4 mile track. Would be at 1/8 mile only facility.

Drag racing is done on 1/4 mile tracks.

With my slow [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] i think the last 1/8 of the 1/4 is kind of boring.
The action is in the first 1/8.

AJ,, if you can come up with an 1/8th mile race at a 1/8th mile track I will be there, mine and Vern Motors home track is Pacemakers an it is 1/8th mile here in central Ohio.

I only run the 1/8 mile if its a 1/4 mile track and they are only running the 1/8 that day. Otherwise I dont care for the 1/8 and only like to run the 1/4. To me 1/4 mile has always been what drag racing is all about. All cars are judged on the 1/4 mile when mags test new cars. Back in the 60's and early 70's you had a fast street car if it ran 12's as they said not if it ran 8's. You know what I mean. I grew up around drag racing and it just seems every car I read about or saw racing was running the 1/4 mile. I dont ever remember reading a mag from the 60's up until now that dont judge or test cars running the 1/4 mile. So maybe thats one reason I like the 1/4 mile so much. Even with my car when I built my latest eng my goal was to run 10's not 6's. Ron

I like the competition so racing is racing to me.I prefer 1/8th for bracket racing.

It being 1/8 wouldn't deter me.

Most tracks limit fast cars to 1/8 mile now so it would make the event more consistant to run all cars 1/8 mile.We have run the 1/4 for years but with most tracks going 1/8 for insurance,safty other reasons we would run 1/8 mile events.

since i'm a door car i like eighth mile against a dragster.
i leave first with less time for games.

Just an observation, most people against 1/8th mile racing don't go as fast in the quarter as those for it go in the eight. Since it's about parts and insurance, pick an et and those faster run 1/8th and those slower run 1/4

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.

1/8 Mlie is good place to learn to race, and to tune a car in , but 1/4 mile is where the race is at . If all tracks go to 1/8 mile,, then my car is for sale !

10 sec cars and slower are like watching paint dry the second half of the 1/4. All you want is the next 2 cars on the track. But it is fun to watch the faster cars run it out.

Check the sticky in this section for southern Mopars. All those saying they would race on an 1/8 mile track, we have an all Mopar race coming up in a couple weeks!!! Come on out, try it, and see what you think!

I don't get it, what's your guys cars back half that don't like 1/8 races. My car will go 120+ in the eighth and then 150+ in the qtr. So zero to 120 is a rush in 660' and gaining only another 30 mph in the back half isn't that much. I would race either.
