Here are some pictures of my new Super Street car, we finished it up in May and got to race it at 3 divisional's and a few bracket races. Sure is different going from a 67 coronet to an Avenger.

Nice car welcome to the class. We have a blast running S/ST. Great guys and fun racing. Everyone can hit the tree, not like some S/G cars and run the number. MPH is nice

I've been running SST since 2001 in DIV 5 but with a 67 coronet, trust me I know how tough it can be.

Casey,
The new Avenger is absolutely beautiful! Did you run out of places to add ballast?

What are the plans for the Coronet?

I found just enough places for ballast just had to be a little creative! And for the coronet, it is just sitting in the corner of the shop covered up but we have been talking about putting it back together as a no E bracket car and let my wife drive it.

I do not understand anyone using or building a car like your Avenenger(nice looking car ) in NHRA entry level heads up bracket racing When I ran NHRA Stock classes that was considered the entry level, when I switched to Super Gas and Super Street S/ST was still on the 4 tenths tree and not considered the entry level, that all changed after I sold my stocker Why would you run that car 2800 lbs in S/ST when you can run it at 2100 lbs in S/G What's the pay out difference now between S/ST and S/G?

Cab,
SC is the new entry level, all the Jr. Dragster kids and all.

SST is .5 tree, this allows everyone to be competitive and not spend a fortune on tires, chassis, converters ET AL. to try and hit a .370 tree in SG....

IF NHRA would put SG on a .5 tree many old cars would come back, and many would move from SST. But to be truly competitive on .4 tree you need a specialty chassis, convertor, and it's a big jump.

How large of alternator do you guys run to keep all the 'stuff' working? Which takes more time, setting all the timers/etc. or studying the time slip trying to figure out 'where did I beat myself?'


If you like drag racing, support your local track.

Our coronets look to have been separated at birth.

When is the last time that you payed attention to the SST? Just because NHRA Rulebook calls it an entry level class it is far from it! I dont know of any NHRA class that could be considered entry level. I just wanted to run a newer bodied car in SST to be different than every other challenger, camero and mustang.
