I saw that on another thread:

http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=64092

I just sent my request to the NMCA.
Please be a dial your own et format and not a 1/2 second apart index based format.

I just ran one of those 1/2 second apart index races 3 weeks ago at the NMRA World Finals and it was a lot harder to slow my Stocker down 3 tenths to hit dead on the index than I ever imagined...

NEW NMCA Championship class for Stock/Super Stock racers!

Well here you go folks:

Clearly they are paying attention. Looks like S/SS could be a points-earning eliminator for 2017.

I raced NMCA EFI classes back in the 90's and it was fun, just finished a superstock car and I would like to have another venue to race with, but the $$$ spent on these cars now days is a lot. So to ask the NHRA stock/superstock guys to have to change anything on their cars to run a different association doesn't make sense to me and IMHO most NHRA guys probably won't. So just add a stock/superstock class to the show, no need to reinvent new rules.

ALMACK · 10-20-2016, 04:37 PM

So far, so good.

Let's hope it's a dial your own et format...

My car will hurt itself without wheele bars. It has been on one wheel. It got bent so bad at Charlotte that we had to go to frame shop to get it straight. That's why my car needs wheele bars
