Nope!

Once again explain to me what advantage do I have if I want to run D/S and be 400 lbs too heavy and the car should actually run in say L/S?

If you google NMCA rules you will find out that it is strictly class racing, we run on an index and there is no dialing down like NHRA stock racers do.

Explain to me first how you can jump from D to L,without changing engine combos.
Oh,and why can't I call Vic old timer?

Same engine, same car just more weight.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about something else.....I thought I was the oldest fart on here. Started racing in '63

because these new and obscure combos are keeping cars in the garage.NHRA also has to do their job in policing it to make it work.Wishful thinking?Probably but you have to start somewhere.OK old timer LOL?
Us middle aged guys will probably never see it happen,but ya never know.Who woulda thunk our govt.would go Socialist on us?

Ed,

Just to show you how dumb I am, decided to convert my NSS '64 ply to B/SA, Dvorak is building the shortblock and I'm buying parts and pieces and hope to be up and running by the end of may. Like others funds are short but will try and run a limited number of races plus I belong to the southeastern stock and super stock association.
