S/SS - Lower the index -0.50 & run Pro ladder
 

It is time to get back to the roots of drag racing, make your car run as fast as you can, be on top of your game, first one to the finish line, flat out.

A lot of time, hard work, yes-money, make Stock & Super Stock what it should be....lower all the indexes -0.50 and run a Pro ladder....get back to real racing the way it should be.

It takes long hours, hard work and yes, MONEY to go fast, so to all the naysayers... have heard it all, the little guy, the money issue, all of the crap..bottom line, drag racing is not for everyone, Stock & Super Stock are now at a level that requires a change.

stock and super stock classes were never intended to be for every one! over the last 15 to 20 years it evolved into a free for all,a stomping ground for everyones personal agendas it is not who you know it is who you b$#@! i built a modified car to not have to put up with all the bull crap teardown nonsense,run and non original engine with real race engine severe duty parts, to have an advantage with a relativly soft class but still run s/s,well the index got .2 knocked off the last few years car is still 1.00 under and i enjoy it when i can get out. i would love to see at least .3 knocked off the indexes and the auto and sticks combined. if you dont have the money or time to be competitive in s/ss go bracket racing on the weekends.

No need to spend more money, lets forget about same old tired agenda

Re: S/SS - Lower the index -0.50 & run Pro ladder
 

Here we go again.The only ones left would be the Daddy Warbucks guys.Small fields,no money coming in to NHRA and presto no more S/SS just super catogories and T/S T/D.So go ahead dream on you
malcontents and kill off S/SS.

Super stock will never be a REAL race until someone figures out how to race each other without the shoepolish. Until then it remains as is, a glorified bracket race.

It's already difficult for the average person to run the circuit competitively, if at all. It costs too much!
Fortunately, one can still be competitive using their skills rather than lots of money. If one has more money than driving ability, THEY should go find a heads-up class instead of trying to ruin it for the majority. This is Sportsman racing, not Pro racing.

Besides, the diversity of cars, from the common Camaros, Dusters, Mustangs and FI vehicles, to the uncommon, including Corvairs, Gremlins, pick-ups, etc. make it all interesting for more people.

...and we still have class eliminations for the heads-up die-hards!

Then go race Comp,Alcohol,Pro Stock etc.I'll buy any bottles of shoe polish you care to part with,that's if you have a car to race.
I think I know what's happening.All these people wanting all the changes are suffering from Dick Butler Syndrome.

Actually we are suffering from the days when it was real racing and not what it has become today.
