My version of S/ST;
.5 Pro Tree.
10.90 Index.
2800 lbs. minimum.
135 MPH maximum.
NO ELECTRONICS, i.e., Delay Boxes, Throttle Stops, Two Steps or Grids. If I'm forgetting something please let me know.
This will enable beginners to tune their race cars, learn to cut a light and drive the stripe by the seat of their pants and without any enhancements. No mechanical teardowns, but stringent inspection for hidden wiring, also only the basic inspections for compliance and safety.

That would kill the class. No beginners are going to show up at Divisionals and especially Nationals for that. The class is what it is! I looked at the National Dragster online this morning and I'll be damned if they didn't refer to SST as an Entry Level Class In their eyes it it at the National level because we don't run for National points. SST is what it has become for a lot of reasons. There was the old rule that you couldn't run SST and another class at the same race. That was always referred to as the (Scotty Rule) as in Scotty Richardson. He kicked a little too much *** back in the day. Now anyone can run SST and Top Fuel at the same time if they want to.
