What if we held this in QLD , who would still travel? Warwick Dragway 1/8th mile event, we could have a 2 day event ? And you can run up to 120mph on the 1/8th mile without roll Cage.

If you would like to purchase the naming rights to the event please feel free to contact me with a healthy offer for the name, Until then when and if my funds allow i will organize another event when the right time comes. It wont be on an 1/8 mile track as it wont be very exciting and i highly doubt you would get more than 10 cars to an event like that especially in QLD. Nor would any big names likely attend. Leave it with me and when i get the $$$ and the time ill arrange something. Its not that i dont want too. Cheers

Nothing wrong with 1/8th mile, doesn't take any less skill/setup then 1/4 if anything requires more.

Heads up racing it very competitive, if you bugger the start, you will have a hard time chasing them down due to the length of the track. My car was running a conservative 10.4@140 at healthcote and I was struggling against 13 second cars on the 8th just due to their consistent reactions/times. But I believe most 8ths are now ANDRA sanctioned too.
