I mean not for nothing, I understand the 1,000 foot rule was put into place to slow the cars down and give them more shut down room but, hell even at 1,000 feet Tony Shoe went 318mph. As far as I am concerned if something goes wrong even at 1,000 feet at 318mph you only have an extra 320 feet to slow down which is not much if you have an out of control racecar. I think if they make all the shutdown areas like what they did in Indy and Dallas and NC then 1320 racing should be ok.

PS - Great Job Rock and if anyone did not see if, Rock got some TV time also. I think it was the Semi-finals of PS Bike and they were interviewing Steve Johnson and in the background comes the Rock's Dragster and you got a good 3 second side shot of the car.
