There are a handful of tracks that have the shut down length to accommodate but I'm not sure about other safety issues given the potential trap speed. Not to mention would the motor hold together for another 320' !

Frankly I’d rather see them skip tracks that don’t have the room but that’s another argument. I’ve been thinking of some electro magnetic device embedded into the runoff area that could be activated in the event of a run away car. Or something…I don’t know. Reactions: Mikado463

My first BIG RACE was the first Gatornationals (1970) Garlits , Candies & Hughes, Roland Leong’s Hawaiian, Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins bagged the first Gatornationals Pro Stock title with his ’68 Camaro on a 9.90 to 9.86 holeshot tally against Ronnie Sox. Since I was living in Gainesville while going to college I tried to attend each GatorNational event. Always a fast event.
