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 !

Same here

Sorry, I call BS on both of you. If that's all there was, you'd adapt, or you aren't racers. Sorry to be so blunt, but that's the way I feel. If it's a good program and payout, you'd race it. If you've never run 1/8 and feel this way, you need to try it. Like many have said, the same rush is there, the win light is just as bright, and the payouts are the same.

---

It's your right to call it what you like but I will put it this way I will run sportscompact in the 1/4 then run in the 1/8 a real racer is not afraid to run it out the back door so please don't set the benchmark as to who is a real racer ok.

---

That's BS! I've been racing for years and have raced both. It's much harder to race and win an 1/8 mile race. Take a look at your time slips and you will see that you probably only pick up about 20 mph in the last 1/8. All your doing is taking a little 1/8 mile Cruz in that last 1/8 mile. I'll bet that you have never run an 1/8 mile race. So I would say I' m the real racer. You don't understand what you are talking about since you have probably never run an 1/8 mile race. Yes I prefer 1/8 mile racing. Come on down south and run against some of the good ole boys down here and they'll put you on the trailer.

Fine,but your the one that said 1/8 mile racers aren't real racers!

Watching 11 sec and slower cars run the 1/4 is like watching paint dry. All you want during the second half of the run is the next 2 cars at the line.

Until it gets to the "Big Boys", 1/8 mile racing is much more challenging, more interesting, more fun and safer.

I can understand if someone prefers the 1/4 mile over the 1/8, but I don't understand dissing the 1/8.

on my nostalgia wagon 20 mph difference on my 8.50 index dart 31 mph difference.

Even 31 mph in the last 1/8 doesn't really sound like a big "top end charge" to me. My car runs 104 or so in the 1/8 and would probably pick up another 20 or so mph in the 1/4, not real exciting IMO. The 340 I had ran mid 7.20s in the 1/8 and 11.60s in the 1/4. When I ran the 1/4 I had plenty of time to check all the gauges, see where my opponent was and light a cigarette if I wanted .

If someone is putting up a payout I'll race to the 60' clocks.

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

So what are you trying to say here ?? If you only have an 11 second or slower car you dont want to see them race ? Not everyone can afford to build a 9 scond car and some dont want to. Ron
