Yes, regarding how they are ex NHRA folks that have a modern and sportsman oriented mindset, when the lady told me I can just show up at the track, join, certify, and they would give me all the car number stickers etc, and then just race, I commented back, 'wow how nice, much easier and less painful than NHRA"...

her exact reply was "That is precisely what we are doing, and its why we will win ".

I have ran the NMCA Bowling Green , KY race for the last 2 years with my Stocker.
Last year I ran the EFI Rumble class which is a "pick a posted index" style format.
It was fun but my biggest complaint was why it is the only index class with a .500 Pro tree start. The NMC and NSS classes are a .500 Sportsman tree starts.

This year I just entered 2 different bracket classes.

I just recieved a thank you letter in the mail from the NMCA 2 days ago for participating at their event. That was nice of them.


Now.....if only the NMCA would allow and create a "combo" Stock/Super Stock race to showcase our cars to their fans at their events......

About 5 yrs. ago some of their races did have a Stock/Superstock program. I had raced at 2 of them. I think Nitro Joe may of have helped put them together.

we use to run them in the old NSCA days, now doing it for Buckeye Stock /SS association series. I think Charlie Harmon runs that series still.

Steve Wolcott runs the organization, Rollie Miller is the event director and Dad - Lynwood - is the competition director. The have some great folks the race with them regularly including Don Bowles and Jack Roush's daughter.

Even though my goal is to eventually compete in NHRA stock/super stock, I raced with them for the first time last weekend at Norwalk. I had a blast. They are great people and run a very organized event. I will be going to more of their events.

Keep in mind, there are many events like this run at local tracks also. Some classes are all out heads up with tire size limits. If you are just racing for fun, these are great events, but if you are serious about winning in the heads up classes, plan on doing a lot of testing and be ready for them to throw a weight penalty on you if you go too fast. I group on the east coast last year outlawed fabricated aluminum intake manifolds mid season and made competitors all use cast alum manifolds. Reason, 1 team was winning all the time with fabbed alum manifold. Team changed over, tested 3 times a week and did not miss a beat, won 11 out of 11 major finals. Rules were changed over the winter again, team is still winning, team still tests at least once a week. These are 2 auto techs with a 24ft single car hauler and dually pickup.
