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

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

I don't understand the guys that are affraid of SG backpedalers, roadsters or whatever entering SST. Couldn't they always do that. All that changed is multi-car racers can have one car entered in SST.

Are you saying that multi-car racers that try to enter SG at a national event will enter SST instead because SG filled up? How many multi-car racers would that be? Besides they will have to add quite a bit of weight to do that. That will change their whole setup I would think.

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

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

all i know NO Roadsters or Super class Funny Cars allowed at the Mt Vernon, Pacemakers Raceway Park SST series this year !

Here was my post on Pacemakers site a few weeks ago

Here is 2011 rule changes, this is sketched in stone already, AND has been approved by series sponsor, Bill Jackson & track operator Mike Fouts
1. New Index 7.00
2. NO open bodied cars at all, If it doesn't have a roof, working door, full windows, ect it's not going to race in SST at Pacemakers
3. Courtesy staging

Plus everything else stays the same as we did in 2010, ladder fields, higher Q'ed car gets lane choice all the way through. No NOS.

I will post schedule soon!

NHRA did good in my opinion on this.
I don't think you will see many SG cars drop back to SST unless they were not real good SG cars. My SST car will run 9.90 but that don't make it a 9.90 car.
What you will see is racers like me bring a extra car.
I think NHRA is making it more and more enticing for me to come play now that I can bring both cars.
THANK YOU NHRA

Chip, You nailed it right on the head! Thats exactly what I meant. I think some of the better funded racers will take along a 10 sec. car to play. Then a guy who only runs some local div. races can't get in to the Nats. ( E-town only takes 50 cars) E

E,
You still have to use sst grade points to get in a national. So if you run a few divisionals you probably got a better chance than a big guy that brings along an extra car cause he can.
How many extra cars do you think will show up? You may get 4 or 5 per race. With the car counts in sst they need them.

I'm with you; think you're more likely to see a full tree racer bringing an extra car than a SC/SG racer and besides we need the car count! I personally hate small fields, especially at races where they advertise purses based on car counts. Hopefully they will have the foresight to not run two relatively small fields (like Stk and S/ST) back to back in the run order; will make the racer without help have to scramble.
