It's further back, so i'm assuming they moved the startline forward to keep the 1/4 mile distance.

Yeah the barn was epic. Top fuel from the barn was like nothing I have ever seen.

I miss the pit area where you could stand and watch the burn outs
. They should build that again.

They should build that again then. Perhaps this time with a 18th century theme, to spice it up a bit.

I was assuming they were going to move the new one into the same position as the old once the old one had been removed but they seemed to skip a bit on the video so it wasn't clear whether they did or not
