I cant speak for anyone else but I would rather run 1/4. Im sure there will be some votes for each. Thats part of the reson we dont run local stuff is because its 1/8th mile.

Well the new motor is moving at a snails pace so I will be there for one day of watching. Been a long winter working on everyone else's stuff and mine is still waiting to be pulled in the shop. should be worth it when it is done so I will be patient Beep

SUPER PRO UPDATE. I've just been contacted by National Trail Raceway and they would rather see us run our Super Pro program on an 1/8 mile instead of a 1/4. Any objections?

BTW: Pre-registration for all classes closes at 5:00pm Friday!




Makes no difference to me.....although not needing to fold a parachute is nice.

What is the reason they are asking you to run 1/8th?

Insurance reasons and water coming up thru the track after the 1/8th mile if the water table is high is my guess. Safer racing conditions.
Just my guess as to why.

Actually the water seepage issue was corrected two years ago. The track has been sealed with a "new high-tech polymer" that prevents mositure from wicking through the asphalt. Also my insurance couldn't care less if it's 1/8, 1/4 or 1000 ft.

The real reason is that NHRA has dictated 1/8 mile for parity among all tracks in their Summit bracket series. I'm told that all tracks, but one, in Ohio run S/P on the 1/8 mile. I'm also told that this would make it more "user friendly" to local racers.

Personally I'm inclined to stay 1/4 mile unless I hear a REALLY REALLY good arguement.

1/8 mile or 1/4 mile it don't matter to me, I just want to race!


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Yeah, but your car runs Pro or Sportsman with no electronics. I can run my Prowler in Quick 16 if only 15 other guys show up. lol.
