For me, the essence of drag racing (and used to be in the rule book) is an acceleration contest over a specified distance (historically defined as 1320 ft). Also many "fans" and a lot of racers sit near the top end.....sandbagging, lifting takes away some enjoyment from those who choose to sit there.....and we wonder where the fans are

I'm not sure the rule book def. is still there, as it's been years since I've looked at one; rules seem to be fluid the past few years, but that's another gripe for another day
