Why No S/ST 10.90 @ Indy

Some classes run at some races, other classes at other races. Depends on time, space, etc. Here's the schedule: http://www.nhra.com/2013sportsman_class_schedule.aspx

We are just fillers when they need to get the car count up.

if memory serves me right, the last two winners of SG, including this year's Phil Smida, were driving racecars usually driven in S/ST... maybe everyone will start selling their 175 mph Corvettes and buying Cavaliers and Mustangs!

That would be cool. I know my car just won't hit a .400 tree with out a lot of work in the 4 link area. And it will only run like 152 MPH.

But who knows over the winter we may make some changes. to see if we can turn a .400 tree red

S/ST is not sponsored as a national championship class by Lucas Oil. It would cost another $50K or more to do so, and I'm sure NHRA would listen if a sponsor stepped up, but until then it is not a "national Lucas Oil" class.

In my view, the "Indy" of S/ST is the Jeg's Allstars at Chicago each year; it is always run there both for the Allstars and the national event, plus at one national event in each other division throughout the year. Usually in Division 2 it's Atlanta, sometimes Charlotte.

Each division only gets 1 Super Street national a year thus D3 always has it at Chicago.

Hello
Yea S/ST has been run for years at either Englishtown or Maple Grove in Div 1.

This year it was in Epping NH. just a little to far for me to drive, and the tolls. O MY

The All Stars race would be neat, but I may never Qualify for that one, plus that's a heck of a ride too.

Hopefully next year I can make it to most of the Div 1 races, and have some fun.
