1/8 mile racing...

To play the finish line game, you have to get it into high gear and then start judging how fast you are coming up on him/her or how fast they are catching up to you.........................1/4 mile you have a lot of time to watch it all play out. 1/8 mile even if you have your gears set up to red line threw the traps.......there is just not as much time to, size up you play.
When all i had raced was 1/4 mile i hated 1/8! I felt i was getting jipped from part of my run.

Now that i race 1/8 mile and have my car set up for 1/8 mile, it a blast! even if i go out 2nt round!!!

Our little home town 1/8 mile track would NEVER have become a reality if it was 1/4 mile, just because of the insurance.
and it only covers the spectators. we had basically no spectator to start with and it still cost us $700 per race. That was 15 year a go.
