Then why would they need a roof? LOL

I'd have to look in the rule book but I don't think they are allowed .

I know several people that run roadsters in super street. Bob Fuller won back to back events in a corvette roadster four or five years ago.

Any left steer is OK in S/ST, it just has to cross the scales at 2800 while meeting the General Reg. on ballast (no more than 500 pounds) and all other rules.

S/ST grade points must be used to enter a S/ST national. So a S/G guy can't throw in an extra car and enter S/ST at his next national just because the field is open, unless he has the S/ST grade points.

I'm as amazed as Rock that they actually read a survey result and changed a rule...but this one was a no-brainer in terms of economics. You can only have more entries than before.

Just went and got my old book and I guess according to the rules (open for interpretation) a roadster can run S/St.

I'm sorry......................

I wonder how Fullers Davis roadster got thru, no doors???????

John Martin Racing · 01-07-2011, 05:55 PM

So it's official, throw a couple of hundred pounds in the car, eat lots of cheeseburgers and run some 10.90s. Yahoo!!!!

Good question. I just pulled out my handy-dandy 1988 rule book out and the rule states the same as what someone post here. top, windshield, and full doors. what year did he run SST
