I wish I had just stayed home. That was the most un-organized car event I have been to! I set in line for about 1.5 hrs to get in, set in one spot for 20 mins with the line not moving! Once I got there, saw about 20 passes them a diesel drug antifreeze from the starting line to the finish line. After that i left. Not to mention, even though there was a spot saved for me to park next to our trailer, i was forced to park on the other side of teh track and walk all the way around.. What a joke.... This will be the last time I attend an rkc event...

They put more thought into how to get as many people as possible into these events but don't think of how to deal with the shear number of people that they invite.

Jared is always more consumed about getting huge numbers of people out for bragging rights and gives little regard to properly running a meet. Most of the people who attendvhis meets now are young kids. That wasnt always the case though. At one time RKC meets were a lot of fun but thats no longer the case.

I had a great time. Of course I got there at 12 and waited maybe 3 mins to get in.
Manny's blue 5.0 ran a 6.5x @ 118 and beat the Jotech GTR by a nose hair.

yeah i had fun too. you had to get there early or you were screwed, lot of nice cars out there. honestly ennis would have been a better track to race at with that many people. also the quarter mile would have been better suited. In the end I only came to race and see you guys. no homo.

Yep. Everyone seems to have a gd hardon for eigth mile racing here. Damn tracks don't even exist in CA... Its like the rednecks are affraid their shitty cars will fall apart past 700 feet.
I find it completely unsatisfying to watch and espicially to race. But I also think its lame as hell NHRA only runs 1000 feet now because the old tracks aren't safe anymore. I'm not into the 330 foot racing crap, might as well just race 60 foot or reaction times.
I don't know why no one has Dallas Raceway host these events. I went yesterday and there were like 8-10 cars that raced ALL day... My friend Greg ran his 5.0 about 12 times with cool down time... Lol

1/8th, 1/4, roll racing, twisties, soap box derby cars, it's all fun. Different people are into different things.
1/8th mile tracks are more popular in the south for many reasons, they are smaller so easier to find locations for, cheaper to operate and honestly is more like stop light racing than anything else. Some people get just much of a charge from a launching a car from a dead stop as you do getting the top end rush of a high powered roll car.
Because there is more 1/8th mile tracks available here, people who want to race legally will tend to set their cars up for that more than anything else. Of all the options we have here in Texas, the 1/8th mile tracks are the closest and the cheapest to race at. The racing you like to do is the riskiest and the dumbest of all the choices. It's fun, but it really is stupid to do 150+mph on public highways.
