Hara, Swauger, Burch, Paul L, and many more have won at the highest level at both.

If you don't "finesse" a 1/8th, you aren't winning at that either.

I do both, I love both. When I have a bad day at 1/8th, I find myself wishing winter would come so I can break out the 1/12th.

When I am racing 1/12th while watching the winternats online, I dream of Florida and nitro fumes

And I can assure you, 1/12th even in the middle of the speedo wars costs a tenth of what a competitive big race 1/8th program does. My tire bill from the nats would get me through a season of 1/12th. The cost of my nats motor would start a newbie up from scratch in 1/12th.
