Don't bash me too bad, but maybe they should look at making some changes, dare I say, cut it back to 1/8 track?

Maybe they should do like NASCAR.... put restrictor plates on them and mess with the aerodynamics until they will only do about 220 or so....

Yeah that will make it safer....

I don't watch much drag racing, although I am a fan of drag racing, especially John Force, even though I am a MoPar guy all the way, you have to love John Force. He is such a down to earth guy.

I always root for the underdogs, so I am not a big Force fan.....but it is clear to see what made him succeed, and people are important to him, so I admire those traits.

I have thought for a long time that the best way to slow these cars is a shorter track. I used to go to the 1/8 th mile tracks when I was a kid, but the problem was that if you cut a good light, and ran fairly good, a stronger car did not have time to run you down, so the racing lacked that possibility.

I would like to see them use a 1,000 to 1,100 foot track, or about 3/4s of the quarter. The cars would still top 300, and the show would last longer, with a chance to catch a slower car, but they would not reach that point of exploding engines, and tire failures nearly as often. That would mean less cost for teams, and less risk for drivers, with very little lost entertainment for spectators......and longer shut off areas!

What am I missing a stronger car is "stronger" no matter what track its on, right?
