I'm quite sure that it's considered "entry level" from NHRA's end.

Why do you all keep replying to him. If we all ignore him he will eventually go away

I just looked in the 2024 rulebook and I could’ve swore at one time in the past super Street was listed as an entry level class that wording is not there anymore. I guess even NHRA knows better.

OK here’s another question. How did you get started in drag racing?
For me, I went with my father and watched a funny car show at US 13 dragway after that I wanted in! so we ran my daily driver in the trophy class the very next weekend that was my beginner class
And yes, after years and years of bracket racing my introduction into NHRA class racing was with super Street and at the time it was a 4/10 tree, which made it very difficult with any 10 second car

I saw my first LODRS event (it wasn't LODRS then) about 1976 at Bowling Green.


I literally "walked on" to a team of guys racing Super Pro, Super Gas, and a class called "Jr. Pro Stock" while I was in high school. I moved up to building the engines and transmissions, and setting up the rear ends, as well as being a crew chief. They bought a dragster and went Super Comp and fast bracket racing. I literally learned from some of the very best, Jimmy Bridges, Harry Vineyard, Ronnie Duke, Mike Lynch, Sonny Elliot, and a host of others.

I've stated here before, be careful of what you ask for.

IF I put my son in a stocker, he will be division champ within 3 years!

Ed, I think we're talking about YOU in a Stocker! But if your son wants in, he'll be more than welcome!

Billy, stock eliminator doesn’t need another old man. The class is largely heaven’s waiting room and no shock it’s dominated by under 40 racers. My son would kill it in stock!

You might be right, but you would have to change engine builders to someone we've heard of here, ...yes ?
