Stock/Super Stock At NMCA

Rusty Gillis · 10-13-2016, 12:00 PM

Great Story Evan. I plan on having my 1967 Fairlane at Bradenton next year.

I would love to race my A/S car in NMCA but by reading the 2016 rules I can't find a class that I can compete in. I can't race a Camaro in Nostalgia SS so that's out and I can't race in Stock because I won't remove my wheelie bars.

Am I missing something here?

Mike,let me know how this comes out. My car is in the same 46 to 49 year old boat!

I emailed Rollie Miller about the classes, I wanted to race my Drag Pak at the NMCA races. The factory supercar class won't work for an N/A car, no way to get to the minimum weight and we still couldn't run with a blown car. Too bad, I've run Doug's Cuda at their races and they have a great program, just not setup for NHRA class cars right now. It would be nice to have another venue to race at!

Looks like a bunch of class racers need to contact them before Nov 2 if we want any consideration as to rule changes for the 17 season...The way the rules stand right now real class cars just can't race in this venue...

I know that both the NMCA and NMRA are loaded up right now on classes, but the NMRA had a Stock/Super Stock combo race at the Maple Grove event this year.

I was hoping there would have been one at Bowling Green, but no luck.
Maybe something like that might be an idea for the NMCA ??

As it stands right now, none of my Stockers are eligible for any class in the NMCA

I do not remember NMCA running any Stock/SS combo races. NSS does limit the bodies that can race but NMC class is more wide open. Both classes are footbrake only, no electronics, can not even have a 2 step except on a stick car. These guys do treat you great and run a very organized race. Maybe a stock/SS combo could be in the future.

Thanks
Actually I wasn't sure if they actually ran S/SS somewhere, or we just talked about it here.
Pretty sure that the typical response from NHRA class racers, was..very little interest.

In 2006 when the NMCA was the NSCA Nitro Joe put on a S/SS race at National Trails at the NSCA event there. I remember it well because it was the first time I had my car out after switching to a stick.
