I hope to be there a few times…even though my car isn’t much of a drag car, it’s still fun to wind it out.

Maybe I’ll bring the Subie instead and see how that thing fares.

It’s supposed to be 1/8 mile but it has be longer sometimes…last time I was there, I was at around 101 or 102mph at the finish…if it were an 1/8, I should only be in the 80s…

wow thats pretty long. I think there are 5,280 feet in a mile. I say they make it a full 1/4mi 😃

I know though…some of those cars don’t have enough room to slow down after a 1/4 mi. D’oh!
