Okay guys I need some help. I got some fool claimin the Kemper track this weekend was a 1/4 mile track. He saw a Whowon report that said the place was 1/4 mile and swears it was a bigger track then Tulsa(chilibowl) which is a 1/5. Gave him what gear ratios people run at tulsa compared to what they ran at Kemper. Yet he swears the Youtube clips show that it wasnt an 1/8 mile track which it was. Besides kicking him in the head and moving on does anyone else have an idea how to get the point across.

The track was small but big enough to race on when everyone got it right. I have used as much as a 712 at the chili bowl, we were using a 756 at Kemper.

BTW...I was there too!
The racing was fine when the drivers figured out how to give and take rather than everyone ram eachother to the front. By the time the best drivers were left for the midget A main the racing was better.
