I think what people dont realize is sometimes accidents happen. Most people have only a very casual knowledge of the circumstances involved. For example, how many people know that Englishtown has a full 1/2 mile of shutdown area?
Longer shutdown isnt the answer. Neither is slowing them down or shortening the track. Give it 3 events, they will all be back up to 330mph in 1000'. AJ has already said their car has done 330 in 1000'. It wont take them long.
The good thing about the 1000' thing is it will keep the cars from leaning so hard on the rev limiters. That will lead to less parts failure, including tire and chute failures caused by exploding engines. That is the key to improving the safety of the sport.
