3258 and B CHILLIK, come on in the water is fine .....hehe !
One of the main things is cut a light and run the # at least that's what my wife keeps telling me. I've offered to put her a - - in the car and see just how easy it is, but she won't bite.
You'll love the people that your going to meet and just the neat times your going to have. Best of luck.........

And I know a lot of S/G that don't have toter's and stacker's

Also I prefer to not have to change my perspective every race, meaning in S/G I will be chasing some and being chased by others. For the most part in S/ST I dont have to watch anyones fenders coming up on me with a couple of exceptions. Besides I cannot run S/G as I dont have the mandated toter and stacker that must be required by rulebook as everyoine has them:)
Then you better forget S/C also....AL, you know I like you but what does anyone's rig have to do with any class of racing....?????? and didn't you just pick up a new M/H....??????

I have been running it for almost 20 years now out of a pickup or motor home with an enclosed 24' to 28' std trailer.
I have not yet won my first National event but have been to the final twice. I hope the 3rd time is the charm.
I just keep trying.
My 2 Cents
As they say in AA- Keep coming back.

Did we all miss the smile at the end of my post?? I think some might be a tad sensitive for some reason. Sheesh, I will go away now...

I was wondering the same thing myself..... lets be honest, all of us who race out of a 20 something foot tag trailer would have the toter and stacker if resources permitted :D

The fancy setup is never in the picture in the winners circle, people have won national events out of a modest setup with a car that is more than a year or 2 old. ;)

More cars can move into SG and SC from SST if the tree was .500 for everyone. The heavier SST cars can't hit a lite on a .400 tree. Everyone has a delay box so what is the big deal? Sportmans PRO tree should be the same .500.

A heavy car can cut the .400 tree you just have to set it up.
When I ran SST I usually carried .130 to .170 in the delay for the .500 tree and when S/G racing the same car had to carry .010 to .040 to keep from red lighting on the .400 tree.
The car weighed about 2900 with me in it.
It is all about the setup.

The tree in Division 3 is pretty close to national event speed....not sure about other divisions....
