Super Street MPH

Good to know the Top Sportsman cars have an entry level class to run when they're not on the docket

The intresting thing was that he wasn't the only car over a buck sixty. And there were a quite a few that weren't far from that. Sure takes a healthy engine to carry a 2800 lb car that fast...
Kevin did his job well and is deserving. It was his day.

I'm going for 185 this year, you can use nitrous in S/ST right?? I'm going to activate a 400 shot as soon as the stop comes on, dont want my converter getting lazy on me.

Only you Rollins would go that way. Hope all is well.

Shoot man 160 at 2800 doesnt sound that hard to me.

Gary, it's not about me, I can screw up at any MPH, as you have seen personally

It's about the guy walking in our shop with a bracket or test and tune car that I'm encouraging to go Lucas Oil racing in the most affordable class, looking on the Web and wondering why he would be facing Top Sportsman cars, and deciding to go do something else.

I love you man, you know my opinion, it is what it is. Hope to see you at some stuff this year, take care of yourself.

No offence Rollins but all these years that I have been doin this I thought it was about trying to go faster. All in all ain't that is what Drag Racing is all about?

I was able to go lots of rounds with a 115Mph bracket car and had a blast doing it. Car left like a Super Stocker and run out to a 10.70@122. Was able hold the RPM down in top gear to make 10.90 happen fairly regularly, which created big problems for the really fast guys, gaining on me crazy quick! More than once I got accused of cheating, but there were no electronics in the car, just a T-brake button. Baby daughter has couple years of college left, then I hope to go back to racing Super Street, cheap big fun!

Think they should learn their trade at the brackets, no entry level classes at this time at NHRA level.

like Gary said any racing period is not for the lite harted or the ill prepared. There will always be someone faster or more mph so move on.
