1/8th mile racing gives you a ton of experience with your burn outs/scrubs, staging, launching, and 60' times. It's a great time to go racing anywhere, regardless of the size of the track, IMO. Even if it's a short track, you still get the same thrill, adrenaline rush, and then the practice I already mentioned!!
There's a big group of us going to SunShine on the 17th.
