Reply to Mr. Budman,

I tried to run a Super Street Association here in Florida and Georgia. I got on the phone to call all the Super Street & Super gas Racers that I knew and could get a hold of, told them of our rules, pay out and entry fees, they all said they would make an effort to support the new association. At our first Association race at SGMP we had 15 cars the 1st day and 9 the second day. On both days there was a bracket race for the track itself. We watched 20-25 cars that could have run with us, but decided to just bracket race. So, tell me where do, you think you are going to get the cars to run at an association race. In the south we have too much good weather, too many tracks having high dollar bracket races and all that shows up are dragster and we still couldn't get a good car count to run Super Street. I even changed the rule to no a weight limit. At a divisional race you would see cars come out of the wood work. People would go to just visit & party. So now is not the time to start association up. Now that the economy has gotten worse you won't see half as many cars as of 2 yrs ago.

The stupidest rule that NHRA has is the weight, 2800lbs for Super Street. If NHRA would change that rule the car count would go up in SST. Because the slower super gas racers would have an opportunity to race SST and not worry about the weight limit. The guys who just bracket race in their light weight cars might come race with us also.

We have had super gas racers in the past run Super Street and not have their way with us as they were thinking they could. They under estimated the Division 2 Super Streeter’s. hahahaha!!!

That is all I have to say about that;
