Default Re: NMCA Good OR BAD ?

Granted, they were just street cars (so no limiters, obviously... even crazier, you had to use the clutch to shift!), but I've raced a stick car twice. Got runner-up with my '72 Duster 318 4spd with a bad clutch, and went 4-5 rounds in a Grand Prix I had borrowed from Billy Nees... *that* car was sweet because you could use the hand-brake to stage the car, and leave "3-footing", clutch out, brake handle down, mat the gas. I still think that car would be a real sleeper Stocker combo.

On-topic, ran the NMCA at Quaker City a number of years ago when they had a S/SS Combo. Had a *great* time! Super folks.
