I run a roadster with fairly long lines so don't have a dog in this fight.
Drag strips usually have bleachers, trees, hills, buildings, fences, walls, etc at least partially blocking a cross wind. Nothing like that at the salt except miles and miles of more miles of empty space. (paraphrazing Red Skelton)
Seems to me short lines COULD make the rear a little more unstable if there is a cross wind.
At the salt there is generally no need for the chutes to come out in a hurry as in drag racing.
If the rear or front has a tendency to lift (have seen pictures of dragsters lifting the front when the chute hits), the anchor point is absolutely wrong and should be addressed.
YMMV
