Nice to see an honest answer from a question. I still wonder how these guys can do it at that level, being regular Joe's and all. I have seen Pro Mods on 1/8 mile before, it's too short! Braaammmpppp, done.I'm sad to announce......
Cost is the biggest factor. It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to race in this class.

Nice to see an honest answer from a question. I still wonder how these guys can do it at that level, being regular Joe's and all. I have seen Pro Mods on 1/8 mile before, it's too short! Braaammmpppp, done.Speed is getting kind of crazy for door slammers too. They are starting to head towards 260 mph in the 1/4 mile.
I remember 10.5 Outlaw use to run 1/4 mile but they were nailing the jersey walls on a frequent basis. Kind of hard to control the car on 10.5's after an 1/8 mile. So safety and cost kind of reeled that class back to 1/8 mile.
I remember when I worked at the parts store, one of the salesmen was an NHRA tech, and on weekends he'd inspect cars, and I would too, Soni got to see some cool cars. He always said 1/4 just made you break parts, 1/8 mile was all you needed.
Which class are you entering Bob?
Which class are you entering Bob?
If? What kind of attitude is that? What's the point of going to the track to figure out how to launch, when to shift, how long a burnout? Tsk, tsk.If I did enter.....
