1/8 mile racing...

Only ran 1/8 mile once, in Fargo N.D. about 20 years ago. Crosswinds were to strong to run the full 1/4, had a bone stock '87 Thunderbird 5.0, went 5 rounds, finally lost when it spun out of the hole, to a 67 Chevelle with a big block that I had beaten earlier, he was allowed to buy in again. Have to agree, 1/8 mile is less than inspiring. Much rather run 1/4 mile, far more of a challenge.
