Yeah, I ran Super Gas a few years....till it became the "who's best at setting the throttle stop" class..... Nothing like it was in the early 80's when I ran it. I now prefer the "no-box, no brake" brackets now, still all about consistency and tuning the engine and suspension to run that dial in!!!!! Had a kid (25) driving the car this year that is gonna be real good!!! Won the class for the track, runner-up at Divisionals, and just runner upped again at the big bucks bracket race in Douglas, Wy.!!!! His "package" at the Divisional finals was .004 off, and he lost!!!! Doesn't get much more competitive then that in any class, Pro, Sportsman, or weekender!!!!!
I did like the old Super Stock index, that was good racing!!!! Got to be a real chess game in the Division on who wanted to punch out the index, lower it, then defend it against everyone else!!!! There was probably $40K in that car and operation, would take $140K to get close to it today...... I don't have that much money to spend on racing, too damn old and slow to be a hired gun anymore, so no-box brackets has become my home!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
