1/8th mile racing?

[BIG G]

After watching many an american car show and watching the quick racin on the 1/8th mile wonder why we dont do it here. Would make good veiwing at such shows as trax and ford fair

opinions please

They do 0-60 sprints at the big shows

[BIG G]

Your right gaz they do

 

but surely racing against each other is much better 0-60 bores the sh1t out of me

They do 1/8 mile racing down here in Kent

 

There's a show at the detling show ground at about September time

 

Unfortunately I thinks its mostly modern cars these days, my father in law won it in the 1980's with a V8 Pop, and was in the newspaper !

 

Its good to get the oldskool down there and show the plastic how its done Iknow a few from this site have been before

Dont see the point myself, its all over with quick enough in a 1/4 mile, let alone 1/8th mile Especially in 6 seconds

I think the next thing should be O.S.F.D.C except the D stands for Drifting

I went last year but they had cancelled it due to health and safety.
