Super Pro ET. It's time....
Discussion
The class which has slowly gone from strength to strength over recent years. Any legal car, anyone can win (with a bit of skill and know-how), super hot rods of all shapes and sizes, close competition, in fact, it has everything going for it except heads-up starts in eliminations. Is it time to speed up the slow end to 7.99 and create an "elite" (horrible word but you get my drift) class capable of headlining any domestic race. It's also very big in Germany so international stuff could happen.

The old comp altered classes had the system Dorris is talking about and, as Martyn points out, it was a sand-bag fest and still over-complicated. I just feel that everything has been tried, sometime numerous times but Super-Pro, as-is, but with a quicker cut-off will do it best. A slow end limit of 7.99 shouts "seriously quick" and would do several things... It would provide a target for racers to aspire to without spending anything like the money needed for any Pro class (including comp-eliminator), it would reduce the closing speeds at the top end to a manageable 2 seconds maximum - and that's only when Martyn races the slowest entrant.
The same reasons which attracted me and so many others to the class, all still apply. The days when anyone looked down their noses at the ET classes are long gone.

Leaving aside the index argument for a while, I just saw the last SuPro qualifying session for today (Friday) on the DoYouSeeMe thingy. 0.029 seconds off your dial could get you into the field ... at No 30.
Whoever wins SuPro is going to have to produce the goods, time and time again. Faaaantastic!
