1700, I found your research on SS to be true in practice as well. I believe you have to be very very talented to win an NHRA stock/SS race, but I don't think you have to be incredible to win a couple rounds. That's just my experience. I have not and do not make stellar laps all the time, but I have won a few rounds here and there this year with 50-70 bulbs. I've won a few with sub 30 bulbs as well. But I was quickly dispatched 2nd or 3rd round at every event by a more talented driver. That's on me, if I wanna compete at a high level, my consistency will have to match it.
A good car goes a long way too, and as long as I had all my ducks in a row, my car was really good this year. Thanks to all the advice, parts, and expertise by those that frequent this forum, I built a really good, competitive car. If I just had a driver... ![]()
