If a dragster cant run at least 8.90, it has no business being at a NHRA sportsman event ! Nobody ever said this is a cheap sport , if a racer cant afford an engine powerfull to move his 1900# dragster to an 8.90 ,[ and now days its hard to build a motor that DOES NOT have the horsepower to do that ] then they should go bracket racing, they have a class for everybody.

"I think the .5 tree and minimum weights are the great equalizer that makes such a wide variety of cars capable of winning and entertaining to watch."
Agreed. In addition, my favorite solution to keep the spirit of Super Street alive is to raise the minimum weight 200 lbs. No extra tech or policing (same scales) and it would make most of the tube chassis cars move to S/G, where they should be. |

Re: What Changes In Super Classes Would You Like To See
If you guys think taking timers out of class racing would bring the speeds down, I say BBBB SSSSSS....you'll just have people picking spots, counting, doing whatever and then driving the wheels off the cars. Chasing has always been seen as an advantage and people will find a way to do it. People don't setup on a .90....so why wouldn't picking spots and making sure you have room work?

The ONLY change taking away the timers would make is to make the MOVs bigger. Period. The races would be decided by .10s not by .001s. Big deal. There would still be people in SC going 185 racing people going 160. People with money will still spend it for whatever perceived advantage they can get.

I don't know about you, but when I race an NHRA event, the purse means nothing, I'm racing for a statue of a little guy standing next to a slick

Re: What Changes In Super Classes Would You Like To See
does the little guy standing next to the slick pay your bills? I know there are few making a living sportsman drag racing but atleast i would like to get a little back. When you can go to a local track and race for 2000.00 on a saturday night and 3 or 4 days later at a nhra event they want to hand you a check for 1500.00 plus decal money if they pay something is wrong.

Re: What Changes In Super Classes Would You Like To See
IMHO.........
Leave it the way it is for the current classes (10.90, 9.90, 8.90) and make a MPH limit (maybe?) Make a new class 7.90 (any MPH you want)....call it Super Eliminator! I would suggest weight breaks by Cu.In, but you don't think there would be honesty issues would ya.........MPH is indisputable. Or do nothing at all and we will still go racing without question! |
