1/8 is a direct offshoot of street racing..almost all of americas "match racers" have gone to shorter tracks..its hard to find a road worthy of 150mph plus top speeds..but a SHORT 120MPH BLAST WORKS FINE..

anyway, if your sanctioned track is 1/4 mile, go for it..we run 1/8 mile events on a 1/4 mile track..no room for errors..no coming back from the holeshot..

and road racing pays nothing, HO..it may be driving fun, but cant pay for itself..a good bracket guy can actually make ma few dollars at seasons end...

enjoy whatever you like..race when and where u can..

and that 63 lemans gets me excited..what a beast..great to see the old bodys redone for racing..
