The 4-wide format is now a once a year race and seems like it is here to stay. Would it be possible for the nitro cars to run the 1/4 mile at one race a year, i think it would be something we all would enjoy seeing.
why not save some time and just go to 1/8 mile for everything...
My crystal ball isn't any better than anyone else but it says all classes at NHRA nat'l events and divisional events will be 1000 foot by the 2017 season if not by the 2016 season.
Was watching from the stands at Famosa. Noticed that when a pair got down to the 1/8th, most spectators were already looking back at the starting line to see what the next pair was. Seems very few spectators have any interest on the back half unless something blows up.
Then I would never go to a race again! Still enjoy all the others than run to 1320! I HATE 1/8 mile
If that's what your crystal ball saying, you should spray paint it black with Rust-Oleum paint and drop into an ocean.My crystal ball isn't any better than anyone else but it says all classes at NHRA nat'l events and divisional events will be 1000 foot by the 2017 season if not by the 2016 season.
I think it is about time for the people who want to see the nitro cars run 1/4 mile to accept that it ain't going to happen. In addition to the extra costs, tune up changes and no desire on the part of the fuel car owner/drivers there are major issues. One major problem is Goodyear fuel tires are only rated to 350 mph and I can guarantee that they are not going to make a tire for one race.
So you 1/4 mile dreamers - quit dreaming it's not ever going back to 1/4 mile.
