1/8 mile racing...

1/8 is more competitive, you have to be on your game to be in the game.
1/4 we can play the game

havent seen any difference in competitiveness racing one from the other. The tree is exactly the same racing either distance.
You have less time to make decisions at the stripe in the 1/8, so actually people trust the car more than in 1/4 mile racing. So if anything, less driver input in the 1/8.
