I think it's a knee jerk reaction to Scott's crash but if it will make the drivers feel safer then so be it.

It's called racing the QUARTER MILE, not the "Sloss.t" mile!
Not at the table, Carlos.

If nitro racing was SAFE, easy and cheap... everyone would/could do it! The danger is part of the allure. I can't believe they made this decision but then again, I'm not a pro nitro driver/team owner either.Comment

I'd support it for the shorter tracks that don't have sufficient shutdown to stop a car moving 300MPH.Comment

I will not support any 1000 ft racing, as it is not the tradition of 1/4 mile racing.
What they need to do if they are so scared, is limit the cars or build tracks with longer shutdowns.
Whats next?? Will they be so scared they will only race to the first 300 ft
1/4 mile racing is 1/4 mile 1320ft racing...not this 1000 ft crap.
I guess if NHRA is going to keep wearing their fire skirts, it will be time to support the IHRA.1988 5.0 Notchback

This isn't the first time this has been brought up.... it just took someone dieing for them to get more serious about it."A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station... you figure it out ..."Comment

If you read the article, it says "interim" safety measure. What they're really trying to do is work towards improving safety in other areas -- and then restore the distance. Seems like a logical way to go.1992 Mazda MX3: L3 100 BigYmp.Comment
