Back to the original topic: Let us know what you run so one of us can brag about who was right!

i too perfer 1/4 mile.....

but 1/8 mile is a rush it's alll about getting the car to hook up and being on top of the tree...

i use 1/8 mile to hone driving skills.....

i dont think its slipping its relatively new, and if I would dump the clutch the 60's would comes down, all I do is bring it to 3K then ride it out.
