I'm going right now to the race track to race my stock, 13 second, daily driven diesel against gassers. Back to just having fun which is what brought me here. Racing in my mind, is doing the best you can with what you have. Enjoying the event, meeting new friends and hanging with old ones. I don't win as much as I'd like, it's racing.
I won a lot of SS years ago with low 12s. Maxd out debuted in the high 10s.
I can understand the argument from both sides....why punish guys like Rob for doing what he does....but on the other hand if I have a mid 10 truck the only reason I would run SS is with the hopes that the trucks like Robs dont show up or break.
Of course if I was Rob Id put that thing on a diet and go for PS
..Dont most of the fast superstreet trucks weigh 5000-5500 lbs anyways and they add weight for superstreets 6000lb limit?
High schoolers?? High school kids must be making good money to run that quick of a index.
Did you know that since you started going faster we are losing racers because you are pushing your truck to the edge of the class limits. Why would you do that Rob? How dare you dominate your class and run off slower trucks from racing. I hope you dont jump up to prostreet and do that.
You need to do what the sledpullers do and lead by example
Rules are the same for EVERY S/S racer. If Rob's running by those same rules and making rounds, how is it his all fault..... especially when he enters it in P/S at the same race and stays competitive against trucks that are lighter and have much more relaxed rules on chassis setup. If the truck is seriously that good, then it sounds like others need to step their game up.
Don't stop the double classing. I'd say add a 10.50-10.70 class with a little tighter rulebook... make it harder to run as many classes. If someone can pull it off, cool. If not, then they'll eventually figure it out and step up or down to a more appropriate class.

I think your sarcasm meter is broke.......
I agree on adding a index class like 10.5
When u you have a heads up no ET limit class their will always be trucks that dominate.
just a thought
how about giving a weight break to single turbo fuel only trucks in super street?
