I'd like to see it at 1 1/2 miles.

I did some searching, but cannot find any of the news reports regarding the announcement when they shortened it up. Pre-internet

I thought the reasoning was due "realities of the American racing game" at the time. Anybody else out there recall why it was shortened?
