Re: 1/8th mile or 1/4 mile
either way, it doesn't matter much to me.
i think that 1/8 mile tracks are going to be the next big thing, and 1/4 mile tracks are going to fall of the map. with the top fuel dragsters and funny cars starting to hit rediculas speed, the NHRA will be mandatings longer run-outs for the drivers to get their cars stopped. the NHRA has already shortened track length to 1000 ft. in many places that dont have the room to grow, and make a longer run-out I heard a rumor that the NHRA has two 1/8 mile track stops this coming season...

Re: 1/8th mile or 1/4 mile
The top 1/2 of the track is nothing but a 23mileperhour charge for most vehicles 10 seconds or slower,, but I sure hate giving up that additional adrinillin
