believe it or not, you can learn alot more than you think in 1/8 mile.... after that its just hitting 4th, not much to do there but hold on.

^^^^^^^^^^Yeah what he said. I learned how to launch, set up a car etc at an 1/8 mile track. The first 60 ft and 330 ft can influence your total trip down the track more than the last 660. Take that 1/8, learn what works on your can and school the competition,

There is a 1/4 mile track in Fontana.....they have street legal events that you can race in. But they are not as often as Irwindale. Check the california speedway website for the dragstrip schedule.
