1320, you can't do what you keyboard & you are in hiding.

As for an entry level class, as been stated; my opinion in order; bracket racing, S/ST, then the slower classes of stock.

After reading all the superfluous nonsense of this thread I still believe S/ST is, can and should be the "Entry Level" class. Let's get back to the theme of this thread.

My version of S/ST;
.5 Pro Tree.
10.90 Index.
2800 lbs. minimum.
135 MPH maximum.
NO ELECTRONICS, i.e., Delay Boxes, Throttle Stops, Two Steps or Grids. If I'm forgetting something please let me know.

This will enable beginners to tune their race cars, learn to cut a light and drive the stripe by the seat of their pants and without any enhancements. No mechanical teardowns, but stringent inspection for hidden wiring, also only the basic inspections for compliance and safety.

Again, instead of changing rules for a class I run in why don’t you focus on a class you run in?
how about making stock, stock again? wouldn’t that be the easiest entry-level class ever to actually race a stock vehicle?

That would kill the class. No beginners are going to show up at Divisionals and especially Nationals for that. The class is what it is! I looked at the National Dragster online this morning and I'll be damned if they didn't refer to SST as an Entry Level Class In their eyes it it at the National level because we don't run for National points. SST is what it has become for a lot of reasons. There was the old rule that you couldn't run SST and another class at the same race. That was always referred to as the (Scotty Rule) as in Scotty Richardson. He kicked a little too much *** back in the day. Now anyone can run SST and Top Fuel at the same time if they want to.
