Quarter Mile Gear Selection

I like the fact that it is so much safer for old guys like me, to do 100, instead of 135, and imo, the second half of the 1/4 is just boring and hard on the car. The starting line, the 60 ft, the gear changes, and the finish line is what's important, and you get all that in an eighth too, without having to beat the car up in high gear.
Sounds a lot safer for my car as well. The last time I raced 1/4 mile was in the 80's, never really thought about 1/8th. Now with this car and everything invested, it makes pretty good sense.................. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I knew this was a good thread.
