Nah, won't change a thing. There's no reason to shorten the finish line for regular racing. Im betting even TAD and TAFC will still run the 1/4.

My guess is the 1000' mark you will probably see only a few tenths difference in the fuel cars. I'd be surprised if it was anything more than .2 faster than they're 1/4 times, so expect to see like a 4.3 or 4.4 where you would normally see a 4.5 or 4.6

They'll still be over 300 mph.

Personally, if htey really thought shortening the track would do anything, they would make the race teams really happy and run TF 1/8th mile. dunno how many of you saw the interviews, but they're all for it. THAT would make a safety difference. NOT running 1000'
