1/8 mile racing...

Regardless of what someone considers fast or slow as far as times go to me its like the op stated at the beginning. 1/8 is premature. 1/4 gives you a chance to wring your heap out, throw in the fact it might be a tin can death trap with crap drum brakes and that just adds another bit to the excitement while at speed. 1/8 vs 1/4 to me is like the first couple laps at a track day on a motorcycle vs. in a groove later on and really feeling the adrenaline rush
