Accidents happen at racing events ( pick your venue )and they will continue to happen at racing events. IMO, the frequincy is less now than it was 50 years ago, so I think NHRA has, for the most part, stayed ahead of the curve. I don't agree with the 1000 foot change, as it detracks too much from the foundation of drag racing itself, but limiting to 1 mag /fuel pump would be a way to go. Each accident has to be looked at individualy and if it can be addressed, great, but you will never eliminate accidents at racing events. Unfortunately, this type of thing makes for great press with the news media ( "the bubble headed bleach blonde comes on at 5" )and todays information highway travels at the speed of light.
