Will nitro run 1/8 mile, 1000', or 1/4 mile?

I would imagine IHRA would stick with 1000' given the speeds nitro is running these days. I've heard rumblings that Pro mod will be 1000' as well, which is something many many pro mod drivers have been calling for. That last 320' is hard on shyt, but 1/8th mile is too short to appreciate the speed. There will be an announcement today at 11am regarding dates, locations, and payouts.
I don't know if NHRA has a ban on outside nitro running/testing, but NHRA nitro teams did participate in the PRO race last year and will again next month. If there is a ban, it isn't being enforced.
