You people never cease to amaze me, first you want to slow the cars down in keep your favorite driver safe, then the IHRA has the balls to make a decision to run a national event 1/8th mile to make it safer (allthough I would rather see 1/4 mile racing), then you complain about the track length being shortened. Make up your minds will ya!

I'm not sure I like San Antonio being enshrined as an 1/8th mile event. It seemed like a good call this year when the track surface broke up, but something about it just seems wrong. However, it might make seeing the race a bit easier since I like to sit at the burnout box and my old eyes have trouble making things out 1/4 mile away - it'd be half as hard to see the races.

What I don't like about 1/8 mile (especially in nitro classes) is that if one car loses traction, the race is pretty much instantly over. Not much chance for a pedal-fest. I'd be happier with 1000 foot - that'd at least give a bit more time to recover from shake/smoke.

Well that would stink as I usually try to go to that one. I was at the funny car nationals they had this year. Due to the cold and moisture they ran 1/8 for the nitro pair. It was the first time I had seen 1/8 mile nitro. I wasn't impressed, its over before it starts.

To run the Fuel Cars at San Antonio they have to use the neighbors land at the top end and he is real hard to deal with. Might be they could not work a deal anymore. Last year it got done at the last minute.

We have winner, the guy is 87+ years old the last time a car went into his land he held a gun on the driver and wouldn't let him get out of his car, a sherrif deputy had to called out so he could get out and be checked out by the emt's (he was ok btw) but he kept arguing with the deputy so another one was called, then the sherrif was called out, the the guy took a shot with his gun at the ground near the sherrif, so he spent 90 days in jail.

That's awesome. Texans are the greatest! (next to Canadians)

Well IHRA did bring back the fast cars so now they have to deal with short shutdown at some tracks.
On a side note Tony Shoe ran at a 1/8 mile track here and when asked he said it's like a long burnout then pull the Laundry.
