Tube chassis in super street?

J518 · 01-19-2016, 08:34 PM

I know there is rules that say no altered firewall or a certain wheelbase max but I see tube chassis cars participate in this class almost all the time, or s10 trucks with much longer than 120" wheelbase or fender exit headers that I would bet would breaker the decibel max . So what makes them "legal"? The reason I ask is because I have a tube chassis car

2800 pounds the great equalizer

I agree with the above. 2800 lbs is the equalizer

I hate the weight rule.. I have an older tube chassis car but its not a 165 mph super gas car.. prob a 150 car at best.. I cannot get enough weight in my car to get to 2800 to run super street which is what I would prefer to run...

How much weight do you need to add? Try to think outside the box when it comes to weight. My car is 2375 with me in it, and I'm able to get it to 2830. I just had to get "creative" with what weight is!

my car weighed 2215 last time i weighed with me in it... I agree.. you can get creative. but 600+ lbs of weight is just too much
