I haven’t been following Top Fuel and Funny cars but was interested to learn that the NHRA timed track length was reduced from a 1/4 mile (1320 ft) to 1000 ft. This is for nitromethane powered cars.
The change was made in 2008 after Scott Kalitta’s death in a crash. The fastest record is by Brittany Force at 338.17 mph in a time of 3.659 seconds. Impressive.
