NHRA shortens track length to 1000'.
"The NHRA has acted very quickly in an effort to improve the safety of its Top Fuel and Funny Car races. Due to the tragic death recently of '94 and '95 Top Fuel champion Scott Kalitta, the drag strip for these two fastest classes will be shortened from the traditional 1,320 feet to 1,000 feet. Race officials and team managers believe that this compromise will continue to make for an entertaining race as the cars will still be hitting speeds of around 300 mph. This is an interim change as the sanctioning body investigates the crash and its causes, and will stay in effect until more definite changes can be made. The first race which will incorporate the new shorter track length will take place on July 11-13 at the Mopar Mile High Nationals in Denver, Colorado."

A few weeks old. Thanks for being observant. Some may not have had a chance to read the article, or find out. Sorry you had to click, and take time out from your busy schedule to let me know that it was old.
But I do see, now, that there is a 3 page thread devoted to this topic. Sorry!
