Anyone expecting NHRA to return to 1320 is dreaming. I would bet big money to also see them take Pro Stock, Alcohol Dragster, Funny Car and Pro Mod to 1000 ft. in the future.
1000 ft makes a lot of sense from a safety standpoint, just ask the drivers. What do you think would have happened to Brandon Bernstein if the cars were going to 1320. I don't think the end result would have been the same. If you look at the stands at the different tracks they don't even go to 1000ft much less 1320 and most of the people sitting at the end of the stands are mostly racers. The regular spectators don't sit that far down.
The pro racing has had some of the closest races we have seen in both classes at 1000 ft. It was rare to see races as close as last weekend ever at 1320.
Get used to 1000 ft, it isn't going to change....
Sad for Del. I am pulling for him to win the championship, he is a real nice grounded person and has had a fantastic season.
