1/8 mile racing...

I race both 1/8 & 1/4 depending when fits my schedule. My sportsman car w 3.55 axle is perfect for longer track as it crosses line at 6k just above shift lite. The 1/8 track, I shift to 3rd and cross finish. I don't change gears because then need roll cage for 1/8. I enjoy both types, but 1/4 gives more time to use top end to catch up.
