FEEDBACK ARTICLE - DRAG RACING, AN EIGHTH MILE AT A TIME

I don't like the idea of 1/8 mile for big time drags. I do however promote the 1000 ft. idea Big Daddy came out with that a few years ago. More shut down area is a good thing, less engine damage is a good thing. His words, but I agree Eric's death was a really bum deal, but anyone that straps into a race car of any type knows it can happen. Fortunatly it doesn't happen very often. I think all of the people involved in drag racing are doing their best to keep safety on the top of the list. I hope they don't have a knee jerk reaction and do something like 1/8 mile racing for everyone. But the 1000 ft track should be looked at.- John White, Linden, MI.
