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?

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.

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.
1/4 mile all the way

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.
