Drag Strip Riot yes I should have said that. Full on 1/4 mile how it should be at its best. Takes real bad ass drivers and tuners to take it on. Nhra should really think about bringing back 320 feet. Great video by the way. I should have mentioned that to begin with.

It would be great if NHRA did, but after a decade now of 1,000' racing for the nitro classes I just don't see that ever happening again. For now, we'll have to enjoy whatever 1/4 mile nitro racing we can find at IHRA sanctioned tracks and independently run events. Thanks again!

The hatch above enables the drivers to exit the car without the body up after a run or in the event of an incident. They also pop it open to air out burnout smoke as well.

Drag Strip Riot z Thanks for the reply. I love 1/4 mile racing. Use to frequent the NHRA races in El Paso back in Kalitta's, Prudhome (sp?), Daddy Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney many others day. At SIR outside of Puyallup, Wa, I saw Gene Snow, Karamisines and the guy who's flywheel came undone one time and either killed him or amputated him. That accident was the one that made all rails rear engined.

Wow, a lot of history right there. Those were the glory years, for sure. We love 1/4 mile racing, too, and are going to try and make as many events that feature full 1/4 as we can. They seem to be diminishing in popularity to the 1/8 mile scene, and that's a sad deal. Thank you for watching. Cheers!
