    This. Just not that close to any 1/4. I would like to do some runs on one but also know the times won't be anything to jump for joy about any time soon

        You got 275 guys running the 1/8 well into the 4's.

        I find this to be very impressive, but I still believe that a 1/4 mile is the true benchmark.

        We have a 1000' track that is maybe 30 miles closer than the 1/4 mile track, yet no one really goes there.

            It's just because there is no decent 1/4 mile tracks in the metroplex.

              I like the 1/8th because its 10 minutes away. I'd love to do a standing mile, just wish it was closer. And screw driving all the way to ennis.

                      it's also easier to get insured, and cheaper to build an 1/8 mile track than a 1/4 track.

                      More 1/8 mile tracks, mean easier access to drivers.

                      Also I think with the death of standing stop street racing that happened a while back, and the LS1 highway racers growth, tollway/highway racing has been a lot more popular.

                              Most people that say 1/8 is boring have never driven a car setup for it that runs well. 1/4 is more fun but just harder to come by around here.
