Re: Super Gas speeds
The Dalrymple's have all they need. In SG they're mid/upper 160's and in SC upper 170's. They come with 4-5 cars in a semi, dedicated driver/crew, have all the car/speed they need to be very competitive in any class they run. Always tough.

Re: Super Gas speeds
Ok, I know you are talking about s/g but what about s/c. The div 3 champ in s/c for the last two years in a row is probably one of the slowest dragsters at the track.... We all know mph has an advantage, but I think Steve has proven that you can compete on a divisional level without mega bucks to work with.... I don't see what the big deal is?
Just another slow s/g car. |

I try to balance the speed with being able to make it down a less than perfect track,which we have quite a few, in all the divisions. I'm at 163 -164 and could run 168 with a setup I hate ,but I'm happy at mid to lo 160's.

Re: Super Gas speeds
I have not sped our car up since 2007....but its just whatever you like and can afford....I can't afford to speed it up...lol
Certainly Steve Mikus snuck up on a few people early on with his dragster.....but I don't think anybody wants to race him anymore.....He has one of the slowest dragsters in the country....and is generally (almost always) 10 or better....on the tree.... So try that one on with your 185 mph dragster.....He is really tough....and this is now not years back....2 time back to back Div 3 champ and top 10 finisher overall Anyway....I think if the Biondo's or Tatums had 150 mph cars....they would still win...... Joe Bauman's not a good draw either.... And I think our tracks in Div 3 are pretty good.....I was at Atco last year....and they couldn't fix it?? I think you and I were in the stands together watching the super street cars crash....and crash....and crash.... We struggled in Columbus...but other than that we were ok...we are ready for you to come back Tom......lol |

Re: Super Gas speeds
Kevin Moore is 165+mph.
I would rather drive a high MPH S/ST car than my slow MPH car, but I can't afford it. Heck, Steve D. will be running 155+ this year in S/ST. He'll have almost 30mph on me and I'm sure he'll be holding at least a tenth. My dads Super Gas car is 153 and easy to dial. Again, he'd like to go faster but he's had some success at that speed and has tons of data so why spend more to have to start over. My brothers Super Comp car is only 172. We've chosen that speed as our starting point and will go from there. I think most people would like to go faster but either don't have the money or have tons of data and don't want to start over. Just my .02 cents. Brad |

Re: Super Gas speeds
This started out about super gas speeds, and it looks like all the super gas division champs are mid 160's and up. So what about the super street divisional champs and the super comp divisional champs. Are all or most of the champs running the top speeds in their class? I have not seen the Division 3 super comp champ, but the way it sounds he is not one of the top speed cars. Are most of the champs in the super class categories running the top speeds in the class? Looks like to me the top speed is the way to go.
