So I don't forsee these thing changing in near the future.

Bill, I see what you are saying but.... The top sportsman fields have been faster than the top dragster fields several times. My point is that the shorter wheelbase top sportsman cars are often faster than most of the top dragster cars (not all of them, but several). They also are allowed to run altereds in top dragster and they have short wheelbases too. Some of them are pretty out of control.
