Stock/Super Stock At NMCA

Major rule changes have been tried in the past with the hope of bring in new cars with very little new racers showing up. So some NHRA cars can run these classes with little or no change to their cars. So bring them out you will have a blast. I would like to see the NMCA hold a couple Stock/SS combo races to test the waters. If that would work adding a Stock class and a SS class to their program with full NHRA rules and enforcement would be cool. With quotas lower at NHRA national events this would give NHRA Stock/SS another place to race. If 40 to 50 Stockers and 35 SS show up it would be also one of the larger NMCA classes. I have passed these ideas on to NMCA and they are interested. Lets see what happens.

Good post Doug.
I have ran both NMCA and NMRA events with my Stockers and there are spectators at these events that were asking me questions about my car and the Stock Eliminator rules.

At the NMRA events, there are a lot of young 20-40 year olds that have never been around a NHRA/IHRA class car.
My guess is it is the same at NMCA events.

I believe that allowing the Class cars in their own combo class at the NMCA events would be an excellent opportunity to help the organization expand and to help showcase our type of race cars to some of the younger racers and fans.
