yeah, I always prefer a 1/4 (ours still is a 1/4 most days).... but ... getting more and more half-tracks. It's about 6 hours and about 75 - 100 bucks on a Saturday for me. Hour down, hour back, gas round trip and at the strip, a meal for my wife and I, entry fee. It's why many want me to make one change at a time and take it down per item, but it's just not realistic (i get their point though). I'm forced to trust my seat dyno over a few changes then take the car/truck down and see where we are...

This is a good idea of why I've lost interest in drag racing. I love drag racing don't get me wrong but it's all the work it takes to get there get back the patients you have to have while you're there and good Lord the expense... It flat out boils down to bang for buck and I'm just not getting the bang for my buck out of this hobby... You toil and toil and spend hundreds if not thousands to get just seconds of fun spread out over a whole day out in the sun LOL or a whole evening... It's almost like renting a jet ski and how worth it it is... Spend a little bit too much money renting the jet ski but have a whole day of fun and then not have to store it do maintenance on it and all of the above trailer down there blah blah blah..
I think I would like to do one of those like Richard Petty driving schools where you get to take a race car out on the track....
