From my understanding most of the engine failures happen at the start and at the end... maybe they figure by cutting it down 320' theyll have less fatal engine failures

at 300mph letting off the gas 320ft sooner just makes the wall 320 ft further away. When you have no way to stop 320ft isn't going to do anything. Just make the pavement a lil further and remove the wall. make the end of the track like a runaway lane.

and then start the race from a roll

i think its dumb. bull riders get hurt all the time and nobody decides to put them on friendlier bulls the man strapped himself into a car that he knew would top 320mph in 1/4 mile...he knew he was getting into a dangerous car and everyone watching it knows it but then freaks out when **** happens. it just wont be the same in 1000' IMO.

This is dumb. Just like Nascar, someone gets hurt or killed and they gay up all the rules. They are racing 8000hp drag cars and reaching 325 mph, no **** people are going to get hurt or die. If you cant take a hit don't box.
