Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
I've always liked Super street but never got why it was never treated as a national championship class.

Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
Just my opinion......leave the SST index and weight alone. limit to real cars with doors. As NHRA has spun the class as "entry level", the MPH should also be governed. Maybe a limit on MPH. It should also be included at all National events.

Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
I don't understand what positive difference would come from lowering the indexes. The launch will be the same. The car will feel the same when it goes wide open and through the finish line. Is a couple more seconds of coast really what is wrong with the classes?
It would surely drive a lot of cars out that can't go 1 second under. I can't see lower indexes spurring anyone to go Super-class racing that isn't already doing it. If it does, it surely isn't enough to replace the racers who are driven out. What's the goal of making the move?

Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
If they were going to change anything it should be the tree
go back to a true 400 and a true 500

Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
I'll add to that with. We would run a Divisional with a true .400 for SG & SC and a true .500 in SST back around 07 and 08. Then you go to a National Event and you're 30 slow. Nobody told you ****. There were a bunch of people in all the Super classes that didn't have the numbers to pull out but nobody ever got an explanation why.

Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
I still firmly believe it was all about Angel crying on TV that she fouled. I went to a double division race and beat myself up all weekend not being able to hit the number. I found out the following week from a tech guy at the local track that NHRA changed the tree. Thats when I went to SSrt for many years till I had enough power to hit the .370 and moved back to SG

Re: The Future Of The .90 Classes
I remember the motorcycle racers crying, I remember not being told from race to race what the tree was set at. I really don’t understand why the sportsman classes had to be changed along with the pros
isn’t it just a flip of a switch or a few seconds of programming in the tower? when they did this they basically created the Corvette roadster and .90 classes has became where either you can hit the light or stay home. Some of the big mile an hour problems people complain about are also because you had to have extra horsepower to make the car leave to go red which equals more horsepower and more mph. super Street excluded a lot of cars that can run the number but just can’t cut the light.
