1/8 mile drags espicaly bracket racing in that distance is catching on, it fine tunes the drivers reaction time also the crew has more of a challenge to make the car alot quicker off the line.
@rodman23t You are absolutely right! Jerry Bickel chassis, 854 c.i. Charley Buck engine and a 4 speed Lenco at the time of this vid. I believe he runs a 864 c .i. Sonny's now....
well i have seen imports doing the real numbers at da 1/4 mile not 1/8 of a mile,steph papadakis did 6 seconds flat with a 6 cyl.honda not a v10 like this viper so go figure.
1/8 miles are really point less.. if they dont have the the space for 1320 feet go build a new track! there is not one track that i can think of withn 300 miles of me that is 1/8 mile kinda getting dissapointed with all these 1/8 mile vids.....8(
@r33skyline4life Are we changing the subject street cars now? Go check out Larry Larson....He drove over 2000 miles (not just 5-6 miles) AND won Americas fastest street car. Again, lets see the fastest "street" import turn the times or do what he did as well :-)
@r33skyline4life "Street legal" and "street driven" are two different things. Just because it has a license plate does not make it a street car. Larry Larson's car IS street driven for thousands of miles. Never heard of a vaxul victor either. And lastly, does it irritate you so much that jealousy makes you call people shit bag?
@r33skyline4life "Update" I found the english car that you mentioned here on youtube. Impressive car but it only runs mid 7's in the 1/4 mile. That makes it the 2ND fastest car in the world..... Larry Larson runs 6.90's So who is the shit bag now?
Zironi7 you are right, In Etown 2 weeks ago a few P/M teams told me that the ADRL cars are much lighter than the NHRA & IHRA P/M cars & they allow screwblowers .....So if the ADRL frontrunners came over to NHRA or IHRA they would not fair well....except for the teams that run NHRA & ADRL ( Al-Anabi team ) BUT for the scruggs & other ADRL ONLY cars they would not come close to a 5 second pass in NHRA or IHRA trim....These racers actually admit it when you ask them ( Scruggs , Carpenter ,ETC.)
The Biggest lie ever told....The ADRL cars cant last a 1/4mile thats why they run 1/8th mile....2 many teams said they would never run the 1/4mile cause its harder on there parts PLUS they ALL AGREE that after the 1/8th mile its even harder to keep these cars glued to the track....SO how the hell is the ADRL tougher? The NHRA & IHRA are far more tougher everyone knows that....Plus if the ADRL cars ran NHRA or IHRA they would not do good without there paperlight cars & screwblowers.
lol. my dad owns an adrl pro nitrous car. and i think you are a complete dumbass and you know nothing. NHRA is way to picky with their rules. And when you have the millions of dollars it takes to operate a winning then you can talk. you piece of shit
I'm in total 100% agreement with zironi7,Flexfuel & some others here. 1/4mile racing has holeshot wins ALL the time So to say you have to cut a goodlight in 1/8th mile is pointless because you have to cut a good light in the 1320 as well as 660ft.While @ Etown 2 weeks ago A NHRA P/M racer told me that his 2 friends run ADRL P/M ONLY but they hate it because its ONLY 1/8th mile BUT he said they cant afford to run NHRA P/M & IHRA has pissed all the racers off so they run ADRL.
1/8th mile is more xciting cause its closer? thats retarded & if you have to cut a dragstrip IN HALF to have a close race then there is NO RACE!!!!...these cars R 2 fast to run 660ft....its nothing there & its lame as hell....and when I make millions I can decide who the 1/8th is for?.....Thats retarded & irrevalent.....A Fullblown racecar should NOT run on a junior dragsters tracklength!!!!!!!
Yeah the 1/8th mile should be for junior dragsters ONLY!!!!!! It sucks not having top end charge in a race.....1 P/M racer told me he dont race 1/8th mile anymore because its nothing there....he said its over too quick & he knows it has to SUCK for the fans watching......I agree with him
Well NHRA & IHRA have holeshot wins ALL the time montecarlo.....Its not justified to ONLY run halftrack to try n have a photo finish , if thats the case just run 330ft so that nobody gets whipped to bad.......1/8th mile sucks & the ONLY way I would go again is if its FREE & close to my house....I Aint driving no more than 1 hour 30 minutes to watch some halftrack racing....NHRA, IHRA , ShakeDown @Etown & NorthEastOutLaw ProMods is where its at ..ALL 1/4mile RACING.
eighth mile racing is way more exciting. because one the races are closer. two you actually have to cut a good light cause you dont have as much racetrack to work with
awsome video.

1/8 mile racing is more economical for this class from a team owners' perspective;
less wear and tear on the power train. It also requires the driver be more so on his/her game, most 1/8 races are won or lost at the starting line....
