Paul Winkelbauer won Topeka in 2015 in a Ford Ranger with small tires.

Cool, so it's happened once in 40 years or so.

I'm surprised someone hasn't run the board on a MT 30551 10 x 28", excellent tire.

Make up a lie, a big one. Repeat it over and over until it is believed.

Tucker Carlson can show you video of the deadly insurrection that never happened and I can show you video and still shot photo's of the deadly insurrection on the cone at Bradenton that never happened, yet you Libtards repeat it as if it did.

Jimmy Dore is a Democrat, and he's even call out you Libtards.

Who knows how many times it’s been done? You asked a question and, yes, it has been done.

Bracket racers on small tires both 9” and 10” tires run S/ST all over the country, after all it is supposed to be the entry level class to the NHRA snd LODRS Sportsman classes and too many to count have won on these tires.

S/ST isn't contested at all National Events & as far as I know it's at all Divisional events.

Id like to see something new, brake bombing is old news. I want to see someone crash a car, stay between the wall and the center line, scrub the et needed, and WIN the race. That would take talent. Anybody can dik-nail the brakes on the finish line.... fukn rookies

**edit**
Oh, and make it for round next. That would be talent!

Each NHRA division gets one National S/ST event.

As an entry level class, does anyone remember the "Scotty" rule? I remember seeing the Slick 50 Camaro on a ramp truck in the early 90's @ National Events.



Cool

I don't follow *National Event Super Street* like I used to because I had 15 year interruption in getting National Dragster Magazine. But you say it's been done once during that 15 year interruption.

I still say it's never been done on a true 10.5 x 28", that looks like an 11" tire on the Truck or a 10.5 W. 10.5 W measures 11.5".

I find it interesting because I'm surprised no has run the table dominated National Event 10.90 Super Street yet, on a M/T 30551 true 10 x 28, excellent tire.

A 30551 is a lot better tire than this one.

Nobody has dominated because there is almost no incentive to even run national events in Super Street, and it is run at only one event per division each year.

I also didn't say it has only been done once. You asked if it had ever been done, and I happened to remember one which answered your question.

That's a 10.5 w on the truck.

I'd guess Rollins or Fletcher will be first.

If Rollins does it, he'll be the first to do it on a DOT tire.

That's a cool car too, Unique. Raced with Rollins many times at Sunshine, excellent.

They build their own stuff too. Experienced.

I'd imagine they know a 30551 is a better tire.

It's no big deal, it's just creative.

Garlits was the King of creative - drag racing.

Different, unique, original.

To some abnormal.

Atlanta used to be the big National Event Super Street race in the south, now it's Gainesville - GatorNationals.

Emmons will do it again and will continue to win. Great racers do!

Colby drove it right and it could've went either way. Old school vs new school, same game either way.

Congrats to both on a great final round.
