Rules for nhra super street

[Maverick]

I believe a some of the racers felt that 2500 lb cars were hurting the class, and did not like the idea of a S/G car running SST. They had cars that were just over 2500 lbs. And one year they had stutter boxes, before the throttle control, cubic inch scenario started to take off. They also changed the tree from .4 to .5 seconds. I believe this was 1994 when the rules changed. Hurt some racers that had been running that class for a years. They did not high mph back then like today. High mph for a SST car in 1987 would be 130. And I don't believe that any one was going 130. Lot of races throttle controlled it on the big end.
