Entry level class?

[Keith 944]

You guys are funny, the only real entry-level class now is super comp
And as for taking away throttle stops, big motors, and all that crap you’re delusional they run an 11 50 850, and 10 flat class with no electronic help and hardly ever get very many cars. They even tried to run those classes at Nhra divisionals a few times what a joke so don’t think that’s gonna happen. We race by NHRA rules that’s it. Of course I want the best car within the rules. If you don’t like it, don’t play.

It's obvious there is no going back as far as the rules for each category. But I say leave those alone and stop liberalizing rules just because a chosen few lobby for changes. Been racing stock on and off since '72. Stock is no longer "stock". Let things be ! No more enhancements.

Super Comp is entry level?

Fwiw, I liked index racing. Had fun and I had friends racing Outlaw10.5.
I used to drive by Atco to go to Cecil for the SSCS.

I didn't build the car for index but fit the rules and could be .000 on .500 PT.
With ATI contingency it was $750 for a win for $50 entry.
I'd run PD as well. Go some rounds and get money back. Runner up'd there was my best there.

Not sure on any plans for racing in the future. It was nice having a track one mile away.
FLC!

You failed to read what was written. No one proposed changing the rules in Super Street. We merely stated what kept the class from being "entry level". No one suggested taking anything away from anyone. A couple of people said it would be more entry level IF some things were changed. No one suggested the should, must, or would be changed. In fact, I specifically stated I was not proposing a single rule change, that it wasn't a class I was involved with in any serious way, and I had no standing to make such a proposal.

Stock can still be entry level if you pick one of the slower classes. Get in, get your feet wet, and have some fun. If your idea is to hop in and set the world on fire you'll probably be disappointed.

Last round of S/ST I watched there were multiple T/S cars throttle stopped down to 10.90. Seemed like a huge waste of resources, but nobody was asking what I thought.

I don't know about delusional. I know 2 former multiple time world champs in Super Comp and Super gas that told me that Stock and Super Stock is a different driving style but every bit as competitive as SC and SG. Al for bracket racing, my former driver went to the Division 5 bracket finals and won the Pro ET championship in a borrowed car he never drove before. By the way, if you get a Gold Card in ET racing, you can also use it to enter your class car at NHRA Div and Nat events.
