Ok, I am confused, but I am very new to this. The rule book says S/ST is a .5 tree and S/C and S/G is .4 tree. Are you saying that at divisional races it is the decision of the track as to what that number really is? That does not make sense to me, seems that a divisional event is a NHRA event and should be consistent across all events, not whatever it feels like that day, the car/driver should adjust to the conditions, not adjust the tree to whatever the most influential racers want it to be........ I must be missing something, somebody please explain. What it amounts to is the Pro's dictate the tree at the National events. If the Pro Stock cars and/or Pro Stock Bikes are having red light issues they will speed the tree up. Like I was told directly (No Hear Say) by the guy who sets it up it has been as fast as a .350 tree at some events but is always at least a .370 for the Nationals. Division races are anyones guess. My 2 Cents |

There are many reasons i run S/ST not S/G, but the tree is not one of them. This year we plan on running S/C as well. My main reason for S/ST is I like the people, most like me are not trying to make a living racing, rather just looking for a competitive place to race and have fun doing it. 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

I must have missed the memo on "must have toter and stacker" to run S/G.
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 |

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 Last edited by Bob Verwold; 12-18-2009 at 05:11 PM. |

![]() 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. ![]() |
