Ever notice that when we get on here the thread usually stops. lol

When you guys come in.....it's like its over....lol....

You usually make a perfect comment.....

Just change the class name to VS/D for very slow dragsters. Then the fans should at least understand the class.
What a joke ! 25 years after class inception with the same index. Should be REALLY impressive in 2012 when Stockers are running quicker than the supposed Super dragsters.
If a dragster can't run 7.90 is it really a "race" car ?

[Jeff Beckman]

OK what if we could get them to add a 7.900 class none of the adv et safety? Although I am a big safety nut, you know the guy in SG who wears a HANS.

JB- I wear a Safety Solutions Hybrid ! ! And have for 2 years, maybe that's why I can't drive the stripe.

Mr. JThomas......I suspect you don't race super comp...but any way my VSD car would run 7 flat and worked just fine at 8.90.....what would changing the index do....and why do you care.....

Wow, 7 flat, you're my hero.

You don't need the Adv ET safety until you hit 7.50. That's why I suggested 8.00. But whatever...

Your right Chris, my bad. Lets call it a dumb ***** attack!

Someone made a good point, as fast as the new s/ss are going super gas does not look so super. And 8 second ss wont make super comp look so competative. I believe that Top Sportsman and Top Dragster have some interest because they are fast enough and no stops.

I wonder if this does not take the conversation back too, what lies ahead? Back to the future, what will keep our sport viable? Dont forget if no one is making good money we wont have a place to race.

Creating a 4th super class would fill a void without hurting those that have (all in) their current class. But dont forget that outside of racing the super classes are the dumbest looking thing to watch, and crazy to understand, just because we think and know how tough it is. Still boring for fans.

Some divisions are short cars now a 4th class is going to take from other super classes. I wonder if our beloved super classes are not doomed, certainley a 4th class would be a tough sell to anyone.

Amoung my crazy thoughts/dreams of a new sanctioning body, at the heart of it lies this.

Do you need TV, it never hurts. Pinks suggests yes, but ADRL makes it without much.

A big purse draws a crowd of racers and a big enough crowd of racers will draw others in. Also Location Location, run events where drag racing is a big deal. Take Norwalk as a perfect example.
