Super Street National Championship - Page 2

I can understand the pit space limitations, so even if they'd just include SST in the normal rotation of classes at national events, I'd be happy. One thing I also wondered about are the entry fees. Why does SST pay the same entry fee as everyone else, yet the purse is 25% LESS than the other classes? Seems to me if they're going to pay less, then they should also charge us less; either that or up the purse! Otherwise, after 20 years of bracket racing and two seasons getting my feet wet in SST--I can certainly vouch for the fact SST is NOT an entry level class!

Your spot on Pony Pilot. Good luck getting anyone in Glendora to provide a answer to the entry / payout question too. Less we all tend to forget that it's a previlage to be able to race s/st at a national event. The sad part is I'm like a crack addict for the stuff.

I believe this is the plan. SC/SG are gonna be run the same as the S/St class soon and they will be called "entry class". TD and TS have such fast cars they have more "flash" to a person sitting in the stands who do not know SC/SG are some of the toughest classes to win in with some outstanding drivers.
