it makes it fun though, look at it as a challenge to keep it under control.

During 1 race I actually managed to catch straight off the line, but then lost traction after I got out of the sticky!

You know, I always wanted to ask... Why is there some tracks that are only 1/8th mile? I have never seen one, but it seems like they are becoming more popular. Is it safety regulations or just space constaints that these tracks seem to be appearing more?

Probably space limitations....Hard to find a half mile of land that can handle noise and traffic anymore..and thats close enough to allow people to attend.. Most of the big tracks have been around for years.
