S/g - s/st ???
 

I am getting ready for this season and finally have my car finished. In testing it has gone 9.7's @ 145mph. Am I better off racing it in S/G and just adding a little wieght? or should I put a stop on it and run S/ST?

The car is a Mustang that is mini tubbed with a 28x10.5 tire under it, small block Ford, it only wieghts 2600# now. I know most of the S/G cars are running high MPH but this is where I really wanted to race. Or should I just run S/ST get my grade points and wait till my new car is finished to run S/G?

I am in the midst of building a new Mustang, on a 5 yr old Pro Stock chassis. But this will not be ready till sometime next year due to funds and the fact that I want to race a little this year. I have been off the track way too long and NEED to get back out..

it Might be more competitive in Super Street....but who knows....can it cut a light in Super Gas....that would be your deciding factor.....

Re: S/g - s/st ???
 

I can go red on a .400 tree , so "IF" I can dial the box corrextly as well as myself then yes it can cut a light.

you will have to add 200 lbs to run superstreet i think the weight needs to be 2800, you will be one of the faster cars

Re: S/g - s/st ???
 

IMO I would put a stop on it and run S/ST

I'd add a little weight and run S/G..........


Thanks Barney....

The wide open method adding weight seems to work well if you have it organized properly.....you will be looking over your shoulder quite a bit though.....

good luck....

Hi Freddie. I run my car in S/ST most of the time. But my car does have the ability to run S/G (problem is me and the .4 light). What I do is run the Opens in S/G, then the Divisionals in S/ST. Don't do much to the car to get in ready for S/G other then taking some numbers out. Car weighs 2950 with me in it. I go about 142 mph in S/St and 148 in S/G. I am one of the slowest in S/G (in Divisional 1), so I am learning to look back a lot more. By doing this I get to have fun in two classes.

Are you gonna run IHRA or NHRA? There is a weight difference for the 2 sanctioning bodies to run the 10.90 class.

IHRA you gotta weigh 2600 w/driver. NHRA you gotta be at 2800...

Throw a stop on it and run IHRA without adding any weight. Go to there double weekend pro-am races, you get a couple of points races and at some tracks they have shootout races as well. Lots of seat time, and not quite as much travel.

Just my thoughts.
