altho they shortened the length to reduce speeds, it was really just to get more stopping room as the cars weren't accellerating much at the top end--

the real problems are equip and stuff setting around at the top end that can be hit by an out of control object-

even with todays cars, if the body work was redone so as to eliminate the rear wing structure, the cars could run maybe 75 mph more and this wouldn't really lower the et's much--but that would be to the 400 mark---
