Is racing 1/4 mile dead/dying?

[01-GATOR]

Don't mind the 1/8 but I rather run the 1/4.

[Lason]

Safer, easier on parts, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to buy land for, etc.

As fast as cars have gotten 1/8 mile will become the new standard.

[SNEAKY]

Come on guys, just multiply or divide by 2.

7.0x1.55=10.85

Motorplex caters to bracket racing....and that is some boring shit.

I like the 1/8 mile because its more like a stop light to stop light street race . You can also gear the car stiffer because you don't have to run the second half wich means it should accelerate faster and the tech is more lax .

Any news on TMS getting a 1/4 mile track like it was rumored a while back?

Several years ago Gossage said it will never happen because its not economically viable to have a track. Because they wouldn't be able to get events due to NHRA's contractual agreements with Ennis. But that was before the economic downturn. All this summer TMS has been doing 1/8 mile racing which _could_ be TMS testing the waters for a track. I really doubt they will do one

ya, i'd love to run the 1/4 more often, but driving from ft. worth to either ennis or crandall is just a pita for a night of racing.

waaaah! c'mon, its not that bad!

where is a 1000' track?

Use a 1/4 track, just dont run the full 1/4. Nhra switched to 1000' for top fuel and funny car.
