Due to the speeds and lack of reasonable runoff areas at many of the tracks. Scott Kalitta's death in this crash during 2008 SuperNationals qualifying is what prompted it. https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nhra/a3 ... 1000-feet/
Of course now that the tuners are hitting speeds well in excess of what they were doing in 1,320 ft, who knows what the future holds...

Are Glock's days numbered? Are they going to become a dinosaur due to: 1. expiring patents 2. cheap sights 3. lack of modularity 4. squishy trigger 5. lack of innovation
