Super Street License

[John Kelley]

WHY does NHRA require a license & physical to run 10.90 in S/ST ?
Is it because some guys run over 135 MPH and they just want everybody licensed just in case ??
Maybe they need a speed limit to keep these guys in S/G ! :-)

If you run 135 mph and over, or 9.99 or quicker! You must have the license and physical to go with it. This is what you have to have to run any class, that these two things fall in. Even bracket racing..............
366P s/st s/g

That is what I thought......BUT NOT what it says on the NHRA form. :-(

Do I need to have a license to drive in an NHRA sanctioned event?

Competitors with a dial-in of 9.99 or quicker (4.50 to 6.39 for eight-mile) or 135 MPH or faster (excludes motorcycles) are required to have a valid NHRA Competition License and NHRA Membership. Categories requiring an NHRA Competition License are as follows but not limited to NHRA Professional categories, Top Alcohol categories, Competition Eliminator, Advanced E.T., Super Comp, Super Gas, certain Super Stock classes as defined by current NHRA rules, SUPER STREET, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Snowmobile, ATV, certain Nostalgia TF, Special Fuel E.T. cars and Motorcycles.

All Super Streeters need a number.
Only Super Streeters that run over 135mph need a number AND a physical.
Unless this rule has changed in the past 3 or 4 years, in '06 when I started going 140s I had to get the chassis cert and the physical. When I was going high 120s I only needed the number.

And PLEEEEEAAAASE don't start the fast Super Streeters should be in Super Gas debate AGAIN!!!!

Or Frank should the Fast Super Comp cars be in Top Dragster....LOL?

[Charlie Yannetti]

LMAO Frank... that would certainly help me out... I was thinking of putting the roadster in S/C to get away from some of these guys...

How about we just fix all the index classes and cut them all by a second? SC: 7.90, SG: 8.90, SST: 9.90. I don't personally know anyone in any one of these classes who couldn't step it up (some with a little bit of work). And it would make the classes much more interesting, for example, instead of being on the stop for ~2sec, we'd be on for under a second, and would run at a faster speed on the stop. Fans would much appreciate it, and it would help slow down the leakage from SC to TD and from SG to TS.
