The guys at NMCA are reasonable and are paying attention. They provide a safe, fun, fair and friendly environment and want to give you a place to race. If you are interested in the NMCA, but feel the rules could be tweaked, I would recommend taking a few minutes of your time and email Gene Bergstrom gbergstrom@promediapub.com.

I'm quite sure a letter expelling why a nose-heavy Stocker on a 9-inch tire needs to carry the front end (hence the need for bars), and will help them understand that a Stocker is different then a 210 mph power adder car that can ramp in the power. Communication would go a long way in helping them understand why bars are necessary, rather than posting that you're not going unless they change a rule. NMCA has invested in these classes, and they have a nice following of racers, but they would love to see NHRA and IHRA racers try their series.

With that, I will be meeting with the NMCA at PRI to discuss having a Stock/Super Stock combo at select events. If this is preferred, rather than joining existing classes, please let me know. Take a look at the NMCA schedule and let me or Gene know what event(s) you could make. Your response could help define the outcome.

Thanks,

Evan
