It's not cutting show times.. shows will still be 2 to 2.5 hours. It's hilarious how many people bitch and moan that the sport needs to evolve and when Feld does something they scream NOT LIKE THAT! I guarantee you if it was Monster Throwdown, MLMT, or All Star Monster Trucks doing this people would be praising them.
This whole thing isn't dangerous, trucks are still on the RII and if someone rolls or spins out and causes another truck to stop they will not be screwed out of a possible win. This isn't something they thought of last night, threw a quick render together of and posted on social media.
