Great News! We have added a Pro Street 10.90 Index class to the SSHS9 schedule! Nothing better than seeing a bunch of 10 second, 4000 pound beasts tearing up the track!

I thinks the 10.90 class needs to be 10.0. The class D last year only had 3 or so cars in it. And the marauders that have cages are quit a bit quicker that 10.90.

I will get this over on the sshs forum too.

Glen, aka RatSSled, on the Impala boards, is running the 10.90 Pro Street class at SSHS9. Here is his description of the 10.90 class, and the rules. This is going to be a cool class to watch, and race in!


In case there are some that don't know what this class is about or want more information in order to decide, well it's basically a bracket race and a grudge run on a pro tree. However, the dial is predetermined and everyone dials 10.90 regardless of what they ran in qualifying. Both cars leave at the same time just like in a grudge run, except it's done on a pro tree just like the big dogs.

To make it even more fun, and give the slower cars a chance, the pairings will be based on a sportsman ladder. That means that the #1 qualifier runs the #9 qualifier, #2 vs. #10, etc. all the way to #8 vs. #16.

The idea here is to get your car running as close to 10.90 as possible. If you have to speed up, then crank in some more power, remove weight (down to 4,000 lbs) etc. If you run under 10.90, then take some power out, add some weight (in an approved manner) or deep stage. The closer you can get to a 10.90 the better.

So, in summary:
Heads UP on a .400 Pro Tree
Every car dials 10.90
16 Car field
Sportsman ladder based on ET (Closest to 10.90)
Normal Breakout rules, such that the most under dial loses.
Rules:
.400 Pro tree heads up on 7 second auto start
Min weight 4,000 lbs
Full bodied street cars only - No tube chassis cars
Tubbed and non tubbed cars allowed
Deep staging allowed but starter will not hold tree *
DOT and slick tires allowed
Open headers permitted
No electronics (trans brakes, throttle stops, delay boxes, etc. prohibited)
Car and driver must meet NHRA and track safety rules
Gasoline only, no alcohol
NHRA sportsman ladder used for eliminations
* Deep staging allowed but starter will not hold tree. When both prestage lights are activated auto start will be activated. When the 1st stage light is activated, the other competitor will have 7 seconds (subject to change depending on track settings) to get staged or they will be timed out.
