NHRA figured the speeds were high enough, coupled with the short run-outs, or outdated tracks, NHRA figured it would give the cars more distance to slow down, this was implemented after the death of Scott Kalitta.
Former champ Kalitta lost in qualifying accident Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta, 46, died June 21 from multiple injuries suffered after his car went out of control and crashed in a high-speed racing accident at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park during the fourth and final round of qualifying at the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals.
