Yeah, after a couple of guys got killed they drew down the track. They run under 4 seconds now, but it ain’t the same.
2008 I guess, the dropped the fuelers down to 1000 feet:

RIP Scotty Kalitta. It’s all your fault (kidding, kidding, I miss old Scotty, he was a real racer like his dad).
Ahhh...
I had heard of the sub 4 second runs...I just figured the cars were faster and the tires were gripping better.
Now I know.
