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

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....
