Re: SST legal
I've thought about running s/st, but I don't think I can run enough mph. My car runs 10.0's at 135ish. With a stop, how much mph would I kill? What do you think the average mph is for the class?
Thanks |

Re: SST legal
Ron,
I run high nines at 136 off stop. On stop I run 10.90 2 132-134 depending on track and air. MPH don't matter Running 10.90 does no matter how you do it. Chip Johnson |

I thought the speed would come down more than a couple when taking almost a full second out. I like to do the catching as much as possible. I know a guy that runs 10.90 at 150. I hate being caught with that much difference in mph. I've never run with a stop or a trans brake. I guess I have a lot to learn, and spend. |

Re: SST legal
As previosuly stated it aint about the MPH it is being able to hit the tree and run the number. I think some folks get WAY hung up on the MPH thing personally....

Re: SST legal
In the last 20 years??? Doubt it. "Back in the day" when you could win by adjusting your linkage "stop" ( a bolt) it was possible. I won a divisional once that way but the car was so dialed in it made my job easy.

Re: SST legal
a guy from Pittsburgh raceway park drove his grandma's mustang to the track, foot braked it, flat out, put a .003 package on me, then drove out to McDonald's with his Friends to celebrate! at least thats the story i got.
