Your truck can 10's and you can win money if you can drive consistently and the truck will run close to the same #'s, that's what it's all about and that's why i said you need some seat time before you can be a real racer.

Mopar, there's four tracks in No. Miss. that they call 1/8 mi. tracks but in fact are shorter. Them being Pick Wick, Fulton, Blue Mountain, and Byhalia about 600 ft.. There may be more but i don't know them, Jackson Miss.(Byram) is only 500 ft. and used to be a NHRA certified track. the reason they don't run a full 1/8 mi. is because there are some scary fast cars in the area and stopping is a problem, even with hanging out the laundry. Case in point a few weeks ago a promod car at Holly Springs full 1/8 went 3.91 @ 187 and dropping the laundry before he hit the first mph lite. Another guy in Tupelo Ms. holds the nat'l record at 3.63 @ 217 for the 1/8 mi.

Zip.

Blue Mountain Dragway 600ft track some pretty fast cars for around here W/O actually being tubbed out.
275 Drag Radial Class

Well Chit !!!...Guess we a little faster around here then what I thought....these 4.40's-4.70's our Local 10.5 cars been running would be 4 20's-4.40's on those 500 and 600 ft tracks....lol


I did the math One day and from the 330 ft mark forward..we traveling close to 194ft per second....On a true 660ft track 8)
