Fastest Street Car (FSC) racing is one of the hottest forms of heads-up drag racing in the country. The Pro Street boys and girls get most of the attention, but Super Street has quickly become the place to go racing because its rules make it more accessible to the true street car enthusiast. While the big guns in Super Street are running as quick as 8.60 seconds, the majority of the Super Street field usually pulls down 8.80s to 9.50s.

Whether your goal is a killer timeslip or just shaving off another tenth, the road to lower e.t.s can start with some of the information assembled here.
Most of the following speed secrets are aimed at putting the power to the ground. Given that most drag racers know more about engines than chassis, well focus most of our attention on the less glamorous undercarriage aspects of Super Street racing. Those next few tenths of a second most likely will not come from horsepower but from chassis savvy.
