This is only a short term fix until HNRA can come up with rules. The initial talk was 1/8 mile; fans aren't going to pay to see a quick hit of the throttle. so 1,000' is kinda 1/2 way without the tracks having to redo their whole timing systems.

I would expect something in place by Indy. NHRA needs to put everything in place to keep the playing field level while keeping cost to the teams in place. Few years back when the tried to control the problems they lowered the Nitro percentage, the teams reacted by upping the blowers, NHRA restricted the inlet size of the blower hats, adding weight to a 6,000HP car isn't going to do enough either.

They just need to get everything in place so that every team has a fair chance to win. Things like RPMs, blower size, Fuel all need to be addressed; adding weight to a 6000HP car is going to have little effect. They need to get the cars to be built safer and the engines less volatile in a fashion that won't badly impact the lower budget teams that can't afford to change everything at one time. You see some teams don't take the 4 qualifying passes to same cost, while other teams like Force can afford to just throw more parts in.

IMO, the 300 MPH runs are fun to watch, but paying to watch fuel cars go up in smoke at the line just PMO! I rather see good 250 MPH side by side racing.
