I know that, going from 1/4 to 1/8, not much is changed. I would think that gear ration would not be too big a deal, since it appears that most of the acceleration is done in the 1st 1/8 mile. This may be different in a forced induction car. As far as a parachute goes, I would think that-if you don't need it on the shoter tracks-you won't need one on a long track.

Just my .02. I may be wrong; but I think my logic is sound.
