Tracks are making imporvements based on 1000', look at MG's annoucement.

This is all "Rumor" and nothing else, I spoke to the D1 Top Sportsman rep yesterday and none of this nonsense about 1000' racing and eliminating classes and combining others was mentioned.
It is true that T/S and T/D will compete at Nationals next season.
1000' improvements are being made by National Event venues to appease the Top Fuel classes.
Alcohol cars are running 5's and are able to stop without an issue, so sportsman racing going to 1000'?.....I find it highly unlikley.
