Are you determined to be unhappy? The track is obviously 1/4-mile, and its no secret that the upcoming national event is 1/4-mile.

This sounds like the same type of racer that will complain of every race payout, regardless of how it is set. If it were a free race, paying 10k, it wouldn't be enough. Some people you can't make happy. Come race day, THE REAL RACERS will be there.

I find 1/8 mile "racing" BORING.......
There is a decent 1/8 mile track about 20 miles from me and I've only been there twice in six years,
It just doesn't interest me at all..........
Apparently you are the one "unhappy" because I don't agrre with everything you like.:-)
OH WELL........I could care less !

>>> "I could care less"...

That means you must care at least somewhat, or you couldn't "care less."

You said you could (care less.)

How much less could you care???

Or, did you REALLY mean, "I COULDN'T care less????"

Just asking....

You failed to answer the question...

I think racing the 1/4 mile is boring. Maybe it's because my stocker is slow, maybe it's because I have ADD or maybe it's just because we do so much 1/8th mile around here. I like the fact that you don't beat on your stuff as much in the 1/8th. I love the fact that something is always going on inside the car in the 1/8th mile. I personally believe the 1/8th mile is safer, simply due to lower speeds.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a 1/4 mile race every few months, but I'll take 1/8th mile for Stock Eliminator. Anyone that says 1/8th mile racing is boring simply doesn't have a legit excuse for not liking it.

Oh, how I envy you guys with running cars!!! I only wish it were that easy, LOL! I just got my bracket car back (see photo gallery, shameless plug). My (one day to be) stocker is still setting in the corner of the garage. Hope to be at an event one day soon.
