Indexes Updated
Looks like NMCA updated the Stock / Super Stock indexes for 2019. https://www.nmcadigital.com/dl/rules/prelim/s3.pdf

Re: Indexes Updated
That's the first thing I noticed.
No Pure Stock. I wonder if it might have been a "political" issue. The same as other tracks not allowing PS in their combo races. Stock indexes appear to be NHRA and Super Stock is IHRA indexes from my observations.

Re: Indexes Updated
I wouldn't say it was political as much as a lack of participation. Going through the Qualifying sheets, I saw two cars entered as Pure Stock all year. One of those cars appears to be nothing more than a temporary ride for one of the drivers probably to keep their points count up, of which I cannot fault. Why support Pure Stock, if they're not supporting you?
There is always the inherent tech issues as well...but I still say lack of participation. |

Re: Indexes Updated
Probably makes sense seeing IHRA only has bracket racing.

However, after looking over all the other IHRA only indexes listed, I wonder how many of those vehicles showed up ? ( i.e. how many S/GTF Stockers showed up or SS/PEA-2 Super Stockers showed up, or a G/CM Stockers.... etc., etc ? Those entire groups were not eliminated. I hope the Pure Stock indexes being omitted was just an oversight on NMCA's part...

Re: Indexes Updated
Good point...maybe it is an oversight?
One CM, but the driver attended every race. No S/GT cars, or Production cars. Production cars do crossover to NHRA SS/Modified though, and I did notice some drivers who formerly ran IHRA SS/Production that were entered under their respective NHRA classes. That being said, I was also surprised at the lack of SS/GT cars at the NMCA races. Most of the NMCA competitors are running either FS or "traditional" Stock/SS class cars. Kind of refreshing not to see a bunch of FWD conversions. |
