Is there a way to get S,S/S racers to band together?

Hey Jeff! Are you sure Obama didn't TAKE $500,000 from you and then TOLD you what he wanted the survey to say? Jim

If you want to go on strike, or send a message or whatever:

Why don't you guys all go run NMCA for one weekend instead of NHRA?

Organize it with NMCA and you can get some ink over there too I'm sure.

I'm sure they'd love to have you over there, and yes you get a trophy and the loot if you're the only one to show up.

It doesn't maybe have the "prestige" of NHRA, but you would get more ink than NHRA spills on stock, and you don't have to run on Thursday.

They've got index and heads-up stuff over there.

God knows they're not perfect, but I've met several very happy X-NHRA guys when I go to those events...

Worked out well for Jeff Swanson too.

Just a thought.

The NMC class looks interesting,but my car misses one of the criteria.It fits the year range
but the classification guide says up to 1979 AMC-V-8.My car has a straight 6 engine,but it is capable of running 13.50.Would they let me compete?

No

[Don Kennedy]

1.

[Dan Bernay]

Not going to happen.

There is another option a little known group called IHRA. They have heads up runs, give big trophys, 2 day races. They even got their own magazine too.
Don't pay much to win anymore because they don't have many contingency sponsors, but that should'nt matter because most of you say "THEY DON"T PAY ANYWAY".
To answer your question though No way racers will ever band together. You will get a few pockets of resistance from time to time but nothing to hurt.

Just saw the V8 thing. That's crap.

I *think* if people asked they would remove it for NMC, or perhaps grant exemptions. They added the V8 wording a couple of years ago across NMCA and NMRA because they didn't want people showing up and winning races in V6 rental Mustangs. Obviously they don't rent 1979 and earlier Mustangs anywhere, so its kind of stupid to have the V8 rule in effect. Unless its just to simplify tech, but that's a stupid reason.

Like I said, they're far from perfect.
