NHRA 2009

Winternationals this afternoon on the deuce... 7 pm till 10:30 pm. I caught some of qualifying yesterday, Larry Dixon DNQ as Top Fuel only had 1 session... hard to get used to 1000' instead of the 1/4 mile...

They changed it to 1000'? When did they do that?

Last year after Kalitta died.

It NEEDS to go back to 1/4 mi. 1000 ft ain't right. His accident was unfortunate, but it was just that, an accident.

They need to mandate that track facilities extend the run-out area or their NHRA certification will be revoked and they will find a new track to race at.

I totally agree... the tracks spend money on their super buildings etc... and now need to speed more on shut down room...

I completely agree.

1000 ft. That ain't racing. They going to put asterisks next to the new records?
