What can be done?

Same deal for Top Fuel and Funny cars going too fast and running on a 1000 Ft. track. The NHRA could demand them to use smaller blowers with less boost, less percentage of nitro, use just one fuel pump like they use to do. Less cubic inches for Pro Stock and the fuel cars then go back to a real 1/4 mile ![QUOTE]

I like your ideas, but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't the primary reason that NHRA went to 1000ft for the nitro cars because of the tragic accident at E-Town? If so, then since that track is no longer part of the drag racing world, I would hope your last comment of "the fuel cars then go back to a real 1/4 mile" might help the cause, and it would also mean that the whole track would be prepped the same as the 1st 1000ft!?

The majority of youngsters today could care less about automobiles, they don’t peg the cool meter anymore.The NHRA will attract a few young racers that come from the Jr. Dragster ranks but that is about it. When Schumacher and Force abandon NHRA, it’s done.....

This is so good that there is almost nothing to add. The "sport" has become a business, "run" by uninterested incompetents. And today's kids are Vegans who drive Audis and watch soccer. It's a brave new world.
