the problem is, everybody has 1/8 mile et and mph clocks. nobody has mph at the 1000', so its going to cost the tracks more money.
As far as not wanting to watch just a hit of the throttle, I'm sure most fans would rather stop seeing the people they watch die. For me, the coolest part is the launch. so if they shortened to 1/8 mile, you still get the launch and the noise. just not the 300 mph.
