As far as them making drag racing safer after losing a top driver, they also made the racing less enjoyable for the fans and many of the racers. Shortening the run down from a 1/4 mile took out a lot of the drama, the nitro cars were just starting to stretch they're legs at the end of the 1/4 mile.
What NHRA did is THE typical knee jerk reaction, just what sprintcar racing doesn't need.
