I have heard people on here speak of 1000 ft races in SS how do you decide who wins ??
I really have no intent on stirring up or making anybody angry on this forum, I'm just a second generation racer who wants to follow his father into the ranks of SS and I'm 'just trying to use every resource to learn what i can.Thank you as always.

Chris the problem I see is that the guy that can go fast has to add the weight. The rest of the cars in the class (different combos) don't have to. You add 60 pounds once, then twice, the three times. It's going to hurt.
The one thing I like about the hood scoop cars is they hit the index, so everyone in the class has to go faster.
The problem I have with going fast is my motor is very rpm effected. The higher I shift it the quicker it has gone. (to a point). But by using the power I'm taking life off the motor. I can run for years shifting at 7000, but it really likes 8500.
