I hope theres still a 10.90. I dont see why they would do away with it Danny, we had a good group this year. :rockwoot:

I guess it's how you define a, "good group." There were a total of 25 trucks that participated in the 10.90 class. The largest number was 9 at the first race. Lowest was 2. There were 7 at the finals. Super Diesel has a total of 78, Super Street a total of 21, Pro Street 15, and 6 in both Pro Stock and Top Diesel. Seems to me they need to keep all the classes. They added those big rig classes so I don't see them cutting anything except maybe one or two of the races that had bad attendance and participation. There are more and more of the fast rigs dropping out and not that many new ones coming on line. The sportsman class had 226 trucks that raced this year and carries the races. Boring as hell to watch unless you or a buddy is entered but that's what keeps NHRDA drag racing going
Lol well I'd hope so.... I can tell you 10.9 isn't going to be giving either of those classes the boot. One of the index classes is what I was talking about. They added 10.9 on top of having an 11.9 I think. I'd say one of those classes will have to go bye bye. Prize money doubled for them but the turnout did not double. So it doesn't make sense for them to have both. I'd say whatever class had the most trucks will be the one that sticks around. I don't think 10.9 has the turn out that reality says it did.

If I had that much money to burn I'd have to buy a new bay boat. Then listen to the wife nag every weekend !

Exactly why I'm wondering. I can run in the 11.90 index easily now but was planning to take the lift, 37's, bumpers, etc... off and try the 10.90 class and see what other things I would need to run in it besides a roll bar.

I don't see why any classes would be dropped. I don't know the business side of the NHRDA but would think more classes equal more sponsor money (title class and lane sponsors) as well as more entry and membership fees. I don't see that outweighing the costs of running another class at the events that NHRDA are already putting on.

That'd be nice, but I don't know that removing all that stuff will knock me down a full second. I'd have to do some upgrading probably; well, Y'ALL would have to do some upgrading. Lol.
