What does it take to be be competitive in .90 racing?

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.
