Make all super classes a .550 pro tree. Then there would be more cars back in SG

I would just be happy if they gave us a real .400 tree in SG. .500 would be good too. Heavy SST cars just have too hard of a time on the current .370 (a.k.a. .400) tree. So even fast SST cars won't be able to move up to SG without spending lots of cash on chassis upgrades or getting a new car.

My point, Einstein, is that we're ALL running trophy, all the time. The purse and contingency are just gravy.

I agree with you Chris. Years ago even David Rampy had to quit racing until he could find a sponsor to help make ends meet. I'll bet if Dan Fletcher would respond to this he would tell the same story. Both of these guys win a lot and need help to pays the bills. If you build a drag car with the idea of making money, you should sell it before you race it.

If I wanted to go slow I would be racing stock.

I respect your opinion,but to me , going 140 in my super stocker or 170 in my super gas car dosent feel much different after about the third run of the year. I guess this is unfortunate for me! lol

I dont understand the bitchin about the tree.
My old car at 2750# and a 30year old 468 still had .020 to .030 in the box on a .370 tree.
They put all those holes in the 4 link and knobs on the shocks fo a reason ya know!
I have to run as much as .080 in the box at the MASGA races on a true .4 tree..and let me tell you it sucks when you have that much in ,when you miss the tree, you REALLY miss the tree!
