I cant see myself beating on my car for the 1/8 mile. Maybe i will come watch
1/8th is good for practicing your technique.
75% of drag racing is that 1st 1/8th mile.

The only difference in the 1/4 as opposed to the 8th is a shit into 4th, and keeping it pegged and revving it out. All the "difficult" parts are in the first 1/8th mile. You have to get faster at the 1/8th before you can get faster in the 1/4.
I wish I could go. I will be going this year, at least once. Hopefully twice.

More practice = More speed.
You can go fast on a freeway, you can get good at running a strip at an 1/8th mile. (or 1/4.)

If i don't drive my car GG you can use my wheels I am waiting to see how the rest of the week works out.

Also remember, more speed equals more braking that needs to be done. 1/4 mile puts more wear on them than an 1/8 mile. 1/8 mile is good practice for sure.

I will probably be there with the evo. Only spectating though bald ass snow tires FTL :(
Come on, you can't use the same excuse two months in a row. Drop the air pressure and go.
I'm going to swap the turbos between my cars, Holset to the 2G, 16G to the 1G. I'll probably race my 2G again this time, and save the 1G for next time. I really want to break 100MPH in the 1/8.
