1000 Feet will it be here to stay

The rumor surrounds TS and TD as the driving force. There are TD's going low 6's and TS going mid 6's. Give it another year and TS and TD will be eliminators at nation meets. The super classes will be consolidated with SC going away and SG and SST combining on a 500 tree at a 9.90 index. or 8 sec at 1000'. Time will tell. Tracks are making imporvements based on 1000', look at MG's annoucement.

wow, that would be some big change, why would they not go to 1/8 mile? as a div 1 racer it took me a while to adjust to it but i have to say i honestly like 1/8 mile better. 1000' just seems a little silly to me...

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.

I heard only classes and or cars that run slower than 11.00 seconds in the quarter, will be switching to 1000' this way its speeds up the event....

I heard they are gonna make alcohol cars race to 60 foot next year .....

I heard a couple alcohol cars in D1 don't even own an oil drain bucket, they just let er rip on the track .....

I heard Hanley's super stocker is such a slug, he leaves off the middle bulb .....

I heard the jets drying the track this morning, which was weird, cause I was in a rest area on I-76
