You don't have to be fast to win....if you can cut the light and run the number, you are going to win rounds.....it is a blast shoving fast cars out the door....they will almost always want the stripe...until they get to know you then they wise up. I always say I don't start looking until at least 800 feet, why, because they aren't there! Consistency is the name of the game. All of the classes are tough....look at who wins in one year and with little exception, they don't do that well again the following year. There are a few top ten players every year, but a lot of turnover too.

Many guys run S/ST all year and then run S/G at the Nationals if S/ST isn't contested. I would put a throttle stop on even for S/G. I am probably the slowest car in Super Comp and run on the stop. I won Stanton a year ago with the stop predicting negative numbers! It was on for .05, that's it.... finished 3rd in Div. 3 that year. Advantage with the stop is it is easier than messing with weight all day. Plus changing weight changes the reaction of the car.

With that being said, I do think there is an advantage to being the faster car, but just like being the slower car, you still have to learn to judge your car and make it consistent.

Either way, its a blast. Good Luck this year!
