1/8 mile racing...

Just picking up on this older thread. As a former racer from now 28 years ago, I love the 1/4 mile only. The cat and mouse game to get the win light is the fun of competition. I didn't have the fastest car (440 69 Charger street car that ran mid 12's at 4250 #'s) but it was wickedly consistent (would run within 0.01 all day). The car won us quite a bit of cash to pay for itself (so long as I didn't fall asleep) and was just a lot of fun to race. Parked it one day, raised a family, and has now been sitting for 28 years in my garage! Plan to get back into racing soon with my 408 Demon (still a lot of work to go). Sure hope I won't be forced to race 1/8 mile only - will take the wind out of my sails for sure.
