Default Re: Indoor Drag Racing International Amphitheater

Actually it was even shorter than an 1/8 mile. I wanna say it was something like only 440 feet compared to an 1/8 mile being 660 ft. Now these factory Super Stocks being probably 12-13 second cars in the 1/4 were probably only hitting about 75-80 MPH through the lights. The open-header'ed cars had to be unbearably loud! I would have loved to have suffered most of my hearing loss at that particular venue.
