S/st

X-TECH MAN · 08-10-2011, 01:03 PM

Does anyone know WHY NHRA will not include S/ST in their World Champ series and more National events? Just a question so Im hoping the stock and S/S guys dont beat me up to bad.

I want to know why Stupor Street doesn't have a seed limit ?
It's supposed to be an "entry" level class and you can't enter another car in another claas when entered in S/ST !
No need to run 135 MPH + to go 10.90 !! Or a 500+ cubic inch engine.......
But people do it anyway .............

Just like the "Pure Stock" thread.... IHRA already contests Hot Rod (Super Street) for World Championships. Seems like most stuff NHRA has (or should have) is/was in IHRA... Pro Mod, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, etc. What's NHRA come up with on their own? Pro Stock Truck, CJ's & DP's, Insurance Surcharges, Pit Vehicle fees, (add your own list of fees here)

Same reason they do it in S/G and S/C I guess.

SST is no longer classified as an "entry level class" and as of 2011, a SST racer can enter second class. Check your rule book. Why have a 500 inch mo mo and go 10.90 at 150? Same reason why A/SA is more popular than R/SA. The race is in front of you and the slower car tends to screw up worse, (so they say).

I just hope NHRA stays away from monster trucks and buybacks.
