Immokalee Regional Raceway * 1/8 Mile February 3-5
Bradenton Motorsports Park 1/8 Mile March 23-25
Carolina Dragway 1/8 Mile May 18-20
Darlington Dragway 1/8 Mile August 31 – Sept 2

What is with all this 1/8 mile bullsh*t?
You mean to tell me that none of these tracks are 1/4 mile facilities? :confused:

Welcome back, Bradenton. I'd like to go to their race, if there's not a Div. 9 race scheduled on top of it. Although in the past, I have skipped a Div. 9 race to go to a Div. 2 double-header 5 hrs further away. If they were on different weekends, I would've gone to both.

Alex,
Insurance and track prep is cheaper. Plus here in the south most people like 1/8th mile racing.

Bradenton, as we all know, is a 1/4 mile facility. I'm sure this is a misprint. I will check on this and report. Jim

Carolina and Darlington have also run 1/4 mile, but are now usually run 1/8. Besides costs and time, shutdown length might also be a factor for some classes.

Right now, I just want to race and am happy just to have those tracks!

IF IHRA wants to attract NHRA racers, racing 1/8 mile points races in not going to help their cause in most cases.

Ditto.

Re: Bradenton goes IHRA
 
1/8th mile vs. 1/4 mile just another excuse for the NHRA racers not to come run a IHRA race. What difference does it make. I understand you like 1/4 mile racing better. I like 1/4 mile racing too. If the races are on the same date, I can understand why you would choose one over the other. What I can't understand is why you would not go if it did'nt conflict with the other?
