Yes at 300+ you need at least another mile to stop. I heard several pros yesterday call to have all stips either longer to stop or shut them down. I think in todays cars they need more room. Back when it was only 200-250, like that is not fast right... they were balreley OK. Hell I used to drive a modified comp car in the 9s and had a hel of a time getting ot to stop at times on some tracks. But back then we did not have a chute in the clas either.
Man it is so sad, but I think the fire was was horrific, even though he had an awesome suit fire extingwisher system etc. That fire and exposion was a terrible thing.
Man it made me sad and sick..
