We hadn't seen these guys/girls in Adelaide for some time. They put on an awesome show earlier this year and they are back this weekend in Adelaide. Love the 1/8 mile concept (not that it's a new one). What do others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pissed when NHRA went 1000ft. Having said that, I didn't mind watching the Doorslammers doing the 1/8th especially as some of the regional strips.

They are absolute weapons and even people who don't like cars/motorsport can appreciate them for what they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could imagine they would not like it if all events were changed to 1000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
