Default Rules for nhra super street

My question is, how well are the rules for this class policed. I have a pro stock truck copy that has a 125 inch wheelbase that I would like to run in super street, but, the rules state the wheelbase cannot exceed 120 inches.. It also a bit tough to get the 2800 lb min weight for this class. I would like to run super gas where none of this would be an issue, However,I cannot get licensed due to medications I take for my heart (Blood thinners), Therefore, I must run super street. Any info will be greatly appreciated. If it matters I will be running division 6 and 7. thanks in advance for any info.
Ray

I think you would be busted on weight, before you would on wheelbase!
Here in div. 3 they do check the weight , at the div. & nat. events.

That would not be good if you made it to the money rounds , then got busted on weight.............

they do weigh at all races , anything over 135mph you need a chassis tag and physical and your license which is the same for super gas, have never seen them check wheelbase before

my car is right on 2800lbs,but my chassis is certified also...my car is capable of running 150+ but i short shift so there is less wear and tear on my junk...plus the chassis cert is good to have just incase there are any structural damage that is un seen...and i had to do the physical and all that good stuff...but i have been weighed,but never checked my wheelbase good luck!!

I've seen plenty of light cars in S/ST. I remember an old Brogie roadster in CA that ran it, he had a huge rear bumper that was rumored to be mostly filled with lead. Looks like 500 lbs is max ballast:
Quote:
If additional ballast is needed and is permitted by Class
Requirements, it must be permanently attached to frame, bolted with
two 1/2-inch-diameter bolts per 100 pounds, with nuts welded to
bolts. Maximum amount of removable and/or permanent ballast,
unless otherwise stated under Class Requirements, is 500 pounds.
Cars running 8.49 and quicker are limited to 250 pounds maximum,
per SFI chassis specification.
Per Gen Regs 4.2.

I agree that you woudl be called on the weight long before the wheelbase. Also as stated anything over135 and you need a license. I have been weighed, but only after final rounds, however I imagine if someone said something to the officials that you could be weighed at any point. I am well over weight and go over 150, at anything over 150 you will also need a chute. When looking at licensing you have to take into consideration the MPH as well as the ET.

Smile Re: Rules for nhra super street

Thank you for all of the responses. I have read the entire NHRA rulebook at length and do understand if I run over 135 mph that I need a license and certified cage and at 150 mph need a parachute. My questions were related to wheelbase and weight. Running under 135 mph should be easy as I have a 383 that makes 550 hp and can short shift to slow the truck down a little. I am actually anticipating to run in the neighborhood of 125 to 130 mph. Again thank you to everyone that posted a responce to my question and I hope to see you all at the track soon. I'm sure you will all love a little duck hunting as I have zero drag racing experience.

Seems like your jumping into the deep end.

But good luck with your endeavor....
