Pros to race to 1000'

Evan I agree. NHRA made a decision that solves a lot of problems right away. Maybe they will start pushing for tracks to change things, but until that is done, is it worth the risk. The average person who go's to a race doesn't care about the last 320 feet, they care about hearing the noise, feeling the ground shake, and smelling the nitro. Those things will still be there. Most of the tracks have a hard enough time staying open and now we want them to go and purchase more land to make the shutdown longer or spend a whole lot of money on a new futuristic, space aged 'sand trap'. I am sure that our pit area's will suffer. Then we will all be complaining about that. I applaud NHRA for taking care of the problem quickly.
