Just leave the classes the way they are, IMO. I'm planning on running in Super Street (my first time running a "Super" category), occasionally, and I like the idea of running a throttle stop and all the gadgets that go with it. 10.90, 9.90 and 8.90 sounds good to me.

About 8 years ago we had a dragster that would only run 8.88 wide open and we ran a few S/Comp races and did ok with NO STOP!!! Sherman Adcock said most racers would kill for that we ran about 152mph but we had to look back WAY BACK! We run the 1/8 mile 6.0 and 7.00 classes without a stop and we had HUGE success in 7.00 and we ran a S/ST race against all the stop cars and won it was it luck Maybe but we just moved some weight around and it has worked for us. In 2011 we are gonna run S/Gas with a stop but I'm sure it wont be easy! I would like to see the stops not used kinda more of a seat of the pants deal but we will race either way. Good luck to all in 2011!!!!!

Make all super classes a .550 pro tree. Then there would be more cars back in SG

I would just be happy if they gave us a real .400 tree in SG. .500 would be good too. Heavy SST cars just have too hard of a time on the current .370 (a.k.a. .400) tree. So even fast SST cars won't be able to move up to SG without spending lots of cash on chassis upgrades or getting a new car.

the Federico rule.........no chassis cars in super street.
