I personally enjoy the 1/8th... It's not as hard on the car and I have one 5min from my house, and like stated before if u can't run the 1/8th u can't run the 1/4th. Down here in phenix city there is nothing but grudge racers. We got anything from 10.5 radial cars running high 4s, scooters that run 7s, diesel trucks in 6s, bikes in 3s, and even quite a few promods on the reg. Its only $5 to get in, race all night and if u want to take your minivan down the track while drinking a beer everyone will Cheer u on. Street scene really suck down here "horribly"
