After almost 20 years and a lot of pain and dollars the super class tree goes back to the way it used to be before LED's.

About time. Just made a bunch of back halfed cars more competitive.

The tree never should have been changed in the first place! we got screwed because of a bunch of crying pros
there was a lot of money spent to make cars hit these numbers. Corvette roadster’s became the norm after the 3.70 tree

Wonder how many racers spent a lot of $ over the winter trying to make their cars hit the quicker tree or make their back half cars competitive in S/G? If they were considering the change it should have been done with months of notice, NHRA is so out of touch with sportsman racers it’s pathetic.

I only spent around $6000.00 building a new front suspension. I parked everything in 2011 because of the .470 tree. I saw many of the heavier Super Gas cars that struggled as well.
