I can understand why, cause of safty issues and cause Kalitta was killed going 300mph, but it sort of takes away the whole purpose of the quarter mile, you have less room to catch up. But the ride is only 4 seconds long anyway, you spend about 5 minutes total driving time in the car each year, If it was for super stock or someting thats running slower it would be different, but im sure that the drivers can barely notice the change.
