Super Classes Future

[Dave Steltz]

So after the "big" (not) turnout this past weekend at LVD for the D1 race (only 44 in SG), I started thinking about the future of SG SST SC at Division races...

I was reading a post on the Stk/Super Stock page, about some disapointment that NHRA gave the Top guys time shots and didnt give them to us (especially not SG as usual)...

To me it appears that they are trying to replace us with Top Dragster and Top Sportsman...not sure how I feel about that...Dunno if they figure that some of us will give up and the fields will become small enough that we will just be filler...

Of course most SST SG SC cars can go bracket racing or small series racing (NESSA and MASGA up north)...not like the Stk or S/Stk guys...

Peresonally I got tired this year of sitting for a couple of days, with the slight hope of a time shot, and then racing when ever NHRA got around to running SG, so I have been bracket racing and NESSA racing and guess what...

I am having fun again for the first time in a few years...the tracks have a schedule that they adhere to, and no classes are left out..yes sometimes the weather is bad and it one and go, but its one and go THAT DAY, not one friday and go sunday...

I do miss the friends I see at Div races and the fun parties etc...but at my home track (LVD) there is a great bunch of guys and the track has been really good this year...

I know some will chase the Divisional trail no matter what, but for me I just got tired of the BS that comes with it, all the days off work, travel etc...and no one better post here that they do it for the money that you might win at a D1 race, cause if you aint in the final you dont hardly pay for the entry...

Come on, lets hear it...
