Ever raced on Runway (vids)???
a town about 45 minutes from here has 1/8th mile races at their airport every year (my brother usually goes- I never have, to run or watch).
I heard a guy from here in town was up there this year, and smoked 'em the entire eighth...but he has a 6 second car...
edit- come to think of it, my brother won the $500 prize a few years ago there (with his vmax).
