Posting this for the guys who will find this interesting, and who GO to the drag races.
Final weekend is finished here, A huge turnout, AND for the 1/8th mile criticizers, the fastest run last night was 3.8 seconds, and MPH of 230, -------And it was not a complete full power run.
230 mph in 1/8th mile!!! Man that's smoking!!!
I'm glad to see the new track is doing well.
I was really hoping to make it up there for a race this year. I'll try again next year.
1/8 mile is interesting for the fans and a lot easier on the machines. I've been to KOTN a few times this season and it's a nice track , great staff , and fairly close to home.
I also enjoy the 1/4 mile races where guys can unleash the full potential of their machines. Nothing like watching 6 second 1/4 mile runs. Many of the new tracks now have switched from 1/4 miles to 1000 foot runs (or 1/8th mile).
Anyone heard the new rumors flying around about the Sudbury track? And no I'm not talking about the one that the Sudbury District Motorsports Association having been trying to get going.
This last event was awesome...some damn close racing and damn fast cars...I got a T shirt given to me, and after reading the back of it I laughed and thought it would be a good thought for a few on here after they beak off..it says..RUN YOUR CAR NOT YOUR MOUTH

I worded it wrong. Many of the southern US tracks have switched from 1/4 mile (1320 ft) to 1000ft ..... if they don't build the new 1000 foot tracks , they build 1/8th mile.

I bought a t-shirt ..... HURA had them for $20. Lucky you got one given to ya. LOL
I had posted a fastest ET of 3.8 seconds, that is incorrect, it was a run of 3.4 seconds @ 230MPH.
Just a point of interest, the guy that ran that was only the 3rd guy in the world to run over the 300MPH mark.
Excellent feedback from him yesterday concerning the track after the run, he was enthusiastic how good the track was, smooth as a pool table, not a bump. And the people up here were great, they were treated royaly, and he is definetly comming back next year.
Bob, Smack Smith was the 3rd one, not sure who the second one was.?
Can't remember now what his 60ft time was but it was less than a second.
Good thing the season is winding down as both the nitro engine and his son's alcohol engine are getting tired. Leak down tests showed compression all over the place.
Interesting guy to talk with and he had some unusual tools being from England that he had brought over with him. (Unusual brands not seen here, even the Snap On's were a bit different.)
lmao
Doh!!! lol
