Entry level class?

[Frank Castros]

After reading all the superfluous nonsense of this thread I still believe S/ST is, can and should be the "Entry Level" class. Let's get back to the theme of this thread.

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.

Again, instead of changing rules for a class I run in why don’t you focus on a class you run in?
how about making stock, stock again? wouldn’t that be the easiest entry-level class ever to actually race a stock vehicle?

EXACTLY!

Keith 944…KNOWS!

Again , stock is the entry level class! Anybody can take a stock, production American made car, manufactured by any of the Big 3 and run it in stock eliminator.

I disagree, because Stock Eliminator requires an exceptionally level of technical execution and for those that are challenged by this will be at a severe disadvantage.

Oh by the way if it's that easy why don't you show us how it's done?

Again, it does not in the year 2024 and if my son wants to race stock eliminator we will and I will show you how it’s done!

So are you saying those of us who run S/ST have no level of technical knowledge by which to execute the intricacies of Stock? Just curious

[1320racer]

That’s what he is saying Al!

Al, that's not what I'm implying. My suggestion is for new racers to NHRA drag racing Stock may be overwhelming for those who may not understand what they are getting themselves into.
Super Street is by no means easy but Stock is harder in my humble opinion.

Ed, I don't think Al needs an interpreter, only an explanation. If he disagrees I'm good with it.

It is very clear what you were implying and your opinion is just that and in no way represents the truth!
