Not going to happen. The pro's and PRO and NHRA all like 1000'. They will be slowing the fuel cars down but they will never go back to 1320. Too many tracks don't have the adequate shut down area and can't extend the ones they have. They can't slow the fuel cars down enough to compensate for the additional 320 ft they have in shut off now without having them run real close to the alky cars. Also, they are not going to run some tracks at 1320 and some at 1000 ft.
If they ever do return to 1/4 mile it will be with a combination that can be best described as "sissified."

Will the NHRA ever return to full 1/4 mile racing for Top Fuel/Funny Car?
Simple answer. NO
More likely all Pro classes and Alcohol will run 1000 ft.

Nope. Like others have said, we'll see more classes go to 1,000 ft. before we see nitro go back to 1/4. (ie: Akly and Pro-Mod).
Pro Mod & the alky classes go to 1000ft and I will never go back!
