SUPER COMP

Super Comp cars race on an 8.90 index (5.70 for eight mile tracks) using a heads-up, .4 second Pro Tree. This class is reserved for Dragsters, Altereds, Roadsters, Funny Cars and Pro Stock type cars. Motorcycles are prohibited. Minimum weight, including driver is 1,350 pounds, except four and six cylinder cars which is 1,000 pounds.

To win in Super Gas and Super Comp you need to reach the finish line first and not go faster that your index. Going faster than the index is called breaking out. You also need to leave the starting line first by having a better reaction time, but not leaving too soon and red lighting. Many races are won and lost by a thousandth of a second.
