SST Starting Point

Robbie Welch · 11-05-2020, 07:14 AM

I'm old school and run a linking TS also (to be honest I'm limited on hood clearance) The majority of S/St racer run under carb stops. I think a lot of people shift on time especially the high HP cars. My car is middle of the road HP (runs 9.50 ish) off the stop) I've been shifting on RPM for 30 years it works for me and up until 2 years ago I ran a 3 speed trans. S/St is the most fun racing I've ever had. You just need to get use to the different pace of racing 1 or 2 time runs a day and going into eliminations with no time runs on race day. There's lots of ways to skin a cat. I hope this helps.
