I personnally like racing at Pittsburgh! They do, however, need to get modern scales! I said this last year and I'll say it again this year! They've got the space for it, put them in before the triple race weekend!! Not only do you get bad readings, but it takes way too long with the scales they use!
I say let Stock, Super Stock and Hot Rod run 1/4 mile and the rest can run 1/8 mile if there is concern about the faster cars getting off the end of the track!!

I agree with Bryan! I have a feeling that money has something to do with this. An insurance policy for an 1/8 mile race is way cheaper than the 1/4 mile version!
