Tony FagnilliJust talked to Carmen, 1/4 mile unless the weather is bad, then MAYBE they'll run 1/8. But, as of right now, 1/4 mile

VX96Dam! Thats to bad. Thought about attending the race.

Mark RomeoI guess the shutdown area "shortness" is what keeps people away from PRP when they run 1/4, never will understand that, save for some really really fast cars. We have at least 2 weekly racers that run 7.30@180+ every pass, shutdown is fine for both of them with no chute, and no burnt up brakes.

It's not that vehicles can't stop under normal circumstances with the stopping distance of about 1700-1750ft. It's that there is no room for error or any malfunction at all.
Equipment can fail or only operate 75% of capacity, etc. If you are already using everything available, it isn't just a matter of making a little trip to the sandbox.
At 130mph, you could downshift and work your speed down to a "safe" level before hitting the sand. At 190 it's a whole different ballgame.

VX96What Gover said.
Whats the deal with pit spots? All spots fair game at this race?
