An Idiots Guide to Super Class Racing

[S/G 386N]

I say leave the class racing alone. Maybe it's because I'm finally figuring it out, and have a car that is pretty consistant. I won 3 rounds at US Nationals in S/G back in '06. I think it was the first rounds I had ever won in that class, so needless to say, I got pretty lucky. If it wasn't for getting to jumpy on the line and going .141 red I think, might have gone more rounds. Two cars later, and I'm finally winning rounds on a consistant basis. If only I could cut consistant lights, I'd be golden. I am also a fast car now, which might help. Running about 162mph. I do know several people that have done very well, and they are running flat out to get to 9.90. One of them won 6 rounds at US Nationals, beeting Mike Ruff in round 4, and Dan Fletcher in round 5, by not letting Fletcher play his staging games. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r2007#indextop

Personally, I like watching the sportsman races more. This year at US Nationals, I think I watched Saturday night qualifying, and that was the only pro runs I saw. The .90 classes I think are more fun that bracket because it's a lot harder to figure out. I have even run on the throttle stop to go bracket racing, just to mess with people. You also run into a lot more side by side racing with the .90 classes. I love being bumper to bumper with someone going down the track and daring each other to take the stripe. Last year I hated being in a 7.60 dragster, bracket racing against 12 second cars. You come up on them so fast, you don't know who is going to take the stripe.
