another stupid newbie question,
I currently have a 1998 Ford F-150 set up for NMRA Tough Truck (Open Comp style Racing) other than gears and induction it's stock, would that fall into any classes, There are only 2 pro am events close to me, Mountain Park Dragway and London Dragway, so it's hard for me to buy or build a car, (even though if I had one I would travel more) but I was thinking if my little truck would fit in somewhere it would be perfect, besides what else do you do with your old tow trucks LOL....

another thing,
I don't see the truck on the list provided earlier on this thread for accepted chassis, but I would think if Rangers, Dakota's S-10's are allowed this one should be aswell?

You also need to decide how deep you want to run under the index, that will also set a cap for how much money will go in your project. I will let the vet's chime in on all the other info. Just keep in mind that since your bracket racing, it not necessary to be fast. There's many dangerous drivers out there that have cars that don't go even 50 under the index(Dan Fletcher and Anthony Bertozzi come to mind at the moment). The super and modified classes seem to be a good place to hide with index slow combos. Maybe you could put together a SS/CS car. You only need to run 9.80's.

The intake and carb or throttle body must be stock, but in your case ford did not include any truck spec's to nhra so it can not run.

Thanks for the reply Bob...
I think I will just keep an eye open for a car already close to being a "Stock" car. Thanks.
