I would prefer s/st to be backhalf but I dont make the rules, just follow them. The one thing they really need to do is get us back in our race cars, less cars at these events and even fewer passes.

Yes thats kinda a problem I can see need more then 2 time runs to practice.
They don't like you praticing at the test & tunes here.
I'll figure it out with a little help from Dale K & Robbie W
It should be a great year of racing

I dont see anything that needs changing personally. Just my opinion. This is index racing and there are a lot of ways to get to those numbers. Personally I like seeing all the different approaches people use to run thier number. From weight and shift RPM barely running the index at low MPH to the huge MPH crowd.

I am new here to this forum, but i have been a div.1 racer for 15 years, i have always liked the heads up class racing, as well as stock and super stock. i have always thought these were the guys who keep the sport alive. i want to do some super street racing this year, so i have been watching the updates,and what is being said here. Over the years, i have seen alot of changes in racing, but the bottom line is, its not how good your equipment is, its how you use it, it all about the lite, and run the number, no matter how you do it, you have to be better than the guy in the other lane to win. to many rule changes will only hurt racing. just my 2 cents.

My dad made the previous post on this subject. But now I have a question for some of you. What difference does it make if its a tube car or a back half car? It has to be 2800lbs so I dont understand. We ran a stock suspension mustang (28x10.5w tire)that weighed 3200lbs in ORSCA 7.00. I had .025 in the box on a .400 tree and it was deadly. We worked our butts off to get it that way because it dang sure wasn't like that when we brought it out. If you have a back half, big tire, car that wont cut it in S/ST you dont need to be on here you need to be out in the shop working on it.

Didn't they say the NHRA would publish the results of the Poll? I saw some stats on how many people responded, but not on what their responses were.

I guess it really dosen't make a differance if you set the car up for a pro tree and a pro tree only.
However most of the S/ST - HR cars are run in both Brackets and index classes.

Its also easier to put 900 + HP in a tube chassie car then in the arverage back halfed car.
Making it much easier to get the big MPH to chase down the slower cars. With Back Half type cars only, its not gonna stop the big MPH but it may slow them down from 165 MPH 10.90 cars to 150 MPH 10.90 cars.

I also think the S/ST - HR class has a large varity of differant types of cars in it, fords, chevy's, mopars. Having the class for only back halfed type cars may help preserive this.
10.90 is a pretty easy # for any desent Pro Street car to run these days.

And I've been in the shop working, got a lot to learn, but I'm learning

So I guess my Question to all the tube chassie cars running S/ST & HR at 150 Plus MPH,
Why are you not running S/G or S/R?

LOL Merry Christmas to all

It's not the back of a car that cuts the light, it's the front and a chassis car has struts,.
with a chassis car you can move the weight to the back 40/60, back 1/2 car the weight is mostly on the front 60/40 (stock front susp.)
If they make the class back 1/2 ONLY it would bring more of the footbrakers from (pro or heavy) into Super STREET,also it would take the chassis cars and put them into S/G where they belong.
