Super Comp Tips
 

I'm going to be running in my first super comp race this coming weekend. Any tips for me to help improve my chances of going rounds? :)

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Sure, run me first round. lol
I plan on being at the Citrus this weekend, so look me up and I will see if I can help you any. I have a red Thunderbird that I run in Super Gas and a Dragster with Kawasaki on the side. If I remember, I had sent you a pic of it when you were looking for a dragster.

Right on, I'm NOT running you first round then :P The original owner is suppose to help me out to that day too a bit but was just curious from other people of general tips. I think you might of sent me a pic I cant remember it was most likely out of my budget lol.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Cut a < .10 light, and run an 8.9x and you'll be fine :)

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

About the only way to increase your chances are to be .000 on the tree and 8.900 on the track and hope you don't get beat by .00000001.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Not always true....

.009 and 8.903 on one run and lost...by .0006

and I have lots more like that maybe I won or maybe my opponent won...

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

With that 12 tho package it looks like you gave him way to much room to get in. lol

Cut a good light and run close and your day will come.....sometimes they go your way and sometimes they don't.....

But Happy Thanksgiving everybody.......

Let's hope the Lions play well....lol

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

OHHHHHHHHHH is that how that works how come you always go 87 or 88 in time trials .......

Does that work in SG also ???? Cut a good light and run close and your day will come ..

Happy Turkey Day !!!!!!

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

My last pass of the year- .000 on the tree- 9.896
Happy T Day - you too TD !

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Since that was your last pass, I just want to know how much stripe did you take? lol

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I knew that was coming- answer= too much !

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I'm just lucky......now your son...he has talent.....lol


Go Lions...

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I know ....the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree....lol

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I'd rather be lucky than good and i've been real lucky. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I have the best idea. Leave your car at home, race your friends car, put .040 more in the delay box then he ever ran, go "0's" all weekend and spend the rest of the year breaking his balls with the rest of your friends. Great fun and costs less. Happy Turkey Day everyone.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I rolled off the gas pedal halfway on that one right at the stripe.....That one really hurt.....It was in the first round....

It's still fun though and beer helps sooth the pain away.....LOL

Happy Turkey Day....

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Is that the time you ran Ron 55 Chevy and when you let go of the trans brake button the delay box said "ARE YOU SURE "

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Well tweaker, since you started this post, are you now wondering why you jumped into this fire? Lol. Super gas and super comp is some of the best and closest racing there is. Great people and you'll make friends from all over the country if you start running the divisionals and national events.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

Well said Chuck !! I can't agree with you more !!Cause we don't do this for the money this is for the friendship that was made over time....Happy Thanksgiving to all....

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

So true. I didn't say "... and you'll win". I was just suggesting that it was a way to get the win light more often than not. If you can consistently bring in a package under 20, you'll be a tough competitor. Add in a little skill at the top end, and you'll be a monster.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

When people ask me why I do this...I tell them the first reason is that I have good friends all over the country....that I could call at a moments notice......now that's cool.....

lol thanks guys.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

We won one at Indy by .0001 I asked my driver if he could tighten it up a little.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

the best super comp tip I can give is .... pick a different class .... the toughest class in NHRA is Super Comp..... try super street, it is designed for the "entry level" racer. Racing in super comp i feel will be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

DWA Run em hard

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

You dont seem to have a problem with either..

Re: Super Comp Tips
 

I raced with roughly the same technology and speed (single low gear throttle stop, 20 mph slower than the typical high-MPH car) and my winning record was about the same in both classes. I don't see one as harder than the other, except that you have to beat one more racer in S/C to get to the final round. They're all challenging. Don't get discouraged - especially in Super classes, where compiling lots of data on the same combination is a big advantage and you only get that data by going to race after race.

Good advice if gary stinnett is there dont race him, he is pretty good!
