I would guess that we have the least H.P. and they can send us with the
least chance of an incident. We then provide a better tractioned and warm track for the cars following us. We are then followed by cars based on traction requirements and risk assessment. J.R. |

Somebody has to go first. Used to be Super Street at the races they were at. Probably more to do with not running classes back to back that have to weigh and check fuel. |

Because the crybaby throttle stop classes say it unsafe for them to go out
By the way stock has cars going 170 mph on 9 inch tires

Nah, it’s because the “fans” have packed the stands by 8:00am to see stock eliminator.
and stock has more than a few turds that can’t run 100mph too.

They maybe slow but at least the people in the stands understand what is going on during their run. Much hard to understand a car leaving hard maybe even wheel standing, and then dropping dead for a couple of seconds before it accelerates again to run a slow et with a big MPH. Stan |
