We worked our butts off to get it that way because it dang sure wasn't like that when we brought it out. If you have a back half, big tire, car that wont cut it in S/ST you dont need to be on here you need to be out in the shop working on it.

I guess it really dosen't make a differance if you set the car up for a pro tree and a pro tree only.
However most of the S/ST - HR cars are run in both Brackets and index classes.
Its also easier to put 900 + HP in a tube chassie car then in the arverage back halfed car.
Making it much easier to get the big MPH to chase down the slower cars. With Back Half type cars only, its not gonna stop the big MPH but it may slow them down from 165 MPH 10.90 cars to 150 MPH 10.90 cars.
I also think the S/ST - HR class has a large varity of differant types of cars in it, fords, chevy's, mopars. Having the class for only back halfed type cars may help preserive this.
10.90 is a pretty easy # for any desent Pro Street car to run these days.
And I've been in the shop working, got a lot to learn, but I'm learning
So I guess my Question to all the tube chassie cars running S/ST & HR at 150 Plus MPH,
Why are you not running S/G or S/R?
LOL Merry Christmas to all
