Didn't they change a lot of 1/4mile races to 1/8 mile because the cars were getting too fast?
Changed Top Fuel and Funny car from 1/4 to 1000' due to speed.
Here we are changing up to 1/2mile?

Interesting....

Full tilt 1 mile racing has been going on for a long time.... Haha 200mph used to be a milestone and I think it takes about 1000hp to do 200mph in a mile... Now people are near 300mph which takes thousands of HP...crazy awesome. I think the 1/2 mile events are for safety vs the full mile.

Sounds like a blast. Would be interesting to know how the current crop of muscle cars would do in the 1/2 mile.
