I'm not sure what class you run. That being said.
Dropping back to 1000' should be no reason to "ease up on safety".
If you have the money to build a fast car, you have the money to spend on safety.
Probably most of the guys on here are bracket racers. You don't have to be the fastest car in the class or torture your equipment to get that extra tenth out of it.
If a guy is blowing up his stuff at the 1250' mark, then backing the finish line to 1000' means as he makes change to get the most out of the pass, he be blowing up at the 900' mark.
I myself just put together an altered. I could've went killer on the engine. Instead it was built to go lots of rounds with reliability and little maintenance.
We're still testing and I hope it runs around 10.00.
