1/4 mile track in Seekonk,MA word on the street is Seekonk Speedway got town approval to build a 1/4 mile track. Slowhawk any news on this since your right across the street on occasions 
And It looks like I might keep my car for alittle while longer. Thinking I'm gonna turn it into a Bolt-on car and run a few bracket races at NED. This all could change with time though

1/8th mile is cool! The lines move much faster, and it really gives you a chance to work on your launch and shifts without putting a lot of heat into your engine. For those that have never done it, you will be amazed at how much faster your engine cools down. And ya, if thats all your going to race is 1/8th....you can get silly with the gear ratio's! When I was down in South Carolina I think every damn car there was capable of standing on the bumper.
