"Live" from Bradenton, FL NMCA race 2021
 
Well this is our first NMCA race! Scheduling hasn't allowed us to make one of these up to this time. When the schedule came out early, we decided to give them a try! Then Bo, Jason, and Dave's race came out at the same time but we decided to go ahead and stick with our original plan and come on down here. The weather is great and is going to be all week! So come on down! I am going to try to do better and get more pictures this week than I did at the Gators!!

Patsy has spent the last two plus hours trying to get registered to race with NMCA. We put in all information and credit card info to purchase credentials and enter race hit purchase button and it all went away. This after getting gigged $13.01 to enter. What BS. Looks like an early trip home. It said info sent to email not so. Three hours in and still not finished.
Information highway my ***. Good night,
Larry

You can pay at the gate. I’ll be there around 1 today if you still need help.

Unless something has changed, I believe the NMCA allows you to race your first race without being an "official" NMCA member. They also have a nice, helpful registration trailer to assist.

At least they did in Indianapolis last year when we ran our first NMCA race. I'm sure Doug Duell or Dennis Breeden can help.

Nova you outdid yourself.
The problem is with FOAT. Jim Bailey had his credit card information compromised after he used FOAT last year.

Why can't tracks just have a credit card machine available as each racer arrives at the track and be done very simply. If I can walk into a Walmart and purchase any amount of stuff that I want, why can't a track do a similar service as the racer is a customer, RIGHT?????????

They could easily do that but my guess is they don't want to pay the fees that are associated with the banks and credit card companies. Cash is king at the gate.

Re: "Live" from Bradenton, FL NMCA race 2021
 
Everyone here at the track have been very helpful today. We are all registered and have our armbands and are set for the week. We are putting on our NMCA banner and decals! So we will be ready for tech and test and tune tomorrow!

More later!

The FOAT makes you send pictures of your car too. But you can get in Wednesday for a good pit spot.

Does anyone know if this race is being streamed anywhere?

We have made our test run this morning. 22 combo cars made that run, but I know more cars are here. We should make our first qualifying run just after noon.

Live feed is on floracing.com, nominal fee. Good luck to all, my first race is targeting the NMCA race in Atlanta....based on strong recommendations from Doug Duell and Dan Breeden I’m thinking it’s time to give it a try.

Looks like they are using the earlier indexs, before NHRA knocked 3 tenths of all of the class indexs.

Larry Hill 03-20-2021 11:20 AM

Re: "Live" from Bradenton, FL NMCA race 2021
 
NMCA runs off the old IHRA indexes.

We ran our Q3 this morning. We have 1 more qualifier this afternoon then start eliminations in the morning!
