Super Street 10.90
I was wondering with so many street cars running in the 10's do you guys see any street cars enter this class?
I have 10.60 Corvette and was thinking about trying this class. I don't have a stop so would have to go 10.90 with tuning and weight control but not sure I can run a whole season. I was thinking of entering a div 1 race at E-town or Atco maybe. it is all run right? |

Re: Super Street 10.90
Mike Rhehl of Newark Ohio has a beautiful 84 Monte Carlo, back halved, big block that runs barely under the 10.90 index. He can and somtimes drives it to the track. He drove it to the track and entered it in the pontiac excitement nats (formerly Spring nats) in Columbus one time. He is VERY successful with it in S/ST
Look at some division 3 photos from WWW.autoimagery.com from last season and look for a black monte with no decals on it.

Re: Super Street 10.90
Redgar, it is a all run class. First thing is get a rule book.
You need to have a roll bar to go 10.90 or 135 mph after that you need a roll cage. You will need a 5 point harness that is SFI. I would look into this before heading to a Div Race and trying to enter S/ST. Mike's Monte is very cool but i know he has a cage in it.

Re: Super Street 10.90
You do not see it very often BUT it is possible. You will most likely be the lowest MPH car in SST but if you are good on a .500 PRO tree and know how to drive the stripe than i would give it a try. I run SST in DIV 4 and and down here there are not any street cars that come to any divisional or national that i can think of and i go to almost all of them in DIV 4. It does not hurt to try and good luck to you.

Re: Super Street 10.90
You have to start somewhere, but like Lee stated a rule book should be the first thing you get. Also I hope that 10.60 is when the air is lousy and it's about 100 deg or your in trouble.........I've run Mike, and that Monte Carlo will give you all you want.....But the Div / Nat races are the only way to go, you get to meet some of the best racers out there. And some of them like to party (hard) after the days racing is done...........
