I think it would be neat to see a copo lined up against one of those old ones.

I'm proud to say that we at the Southern Stock/Super Stock Assn. were (as far as I know) the first to include the NSS and MCA (NMCA) cars in our racing series three years ago. Some of these cars are as nice as you would see at any car show and are just as deadly in competition. We have had ZERO problems related to the inclusion of these nostalgia cars and welcome them with open arms! Jim

I wish I could make the race at Hagerstown with my OLD N/SS Plymouth. It would be a privilege to race against some of the best Stock and Super Stock racers on the East Coast.

Jack is right, Mike is right all is good with the world. What's wrong with a COPO running Pro-ET, pays better than most Stock,Super Stock race. Jack you might have to run that pesky Pontiac Grand Prix Copo Killer. Have fun and get ready for next year.CR

I do have one question. If you allow cars from these other series how do you come up with a index for them? I have no dog in the fight just curios.

With all do respect to everyones answer (mostly Jack).....Mike has done a remarkable job of organizing these races; with the result of low car counts. Because of the lack of support, he mentioned, took a vote, and decided to allow NSS cars this year..... Yes, they are not stock or super stock legal, but at this point, who really gives a F&*^. ....Its a stock/super stock combo...not a points meet or national event. With the addition of these cars, it adds to the purse. With the amount of cars, even without the NSS, its still more than a IHRA/NHRA points race. Whats the big deal?

Stating that someone is rolling in their grave because the cars are not legal is quite a statement;..in fact to me, it is not even something that should have been mentioned on a internet forum. Sounds disrespectable for who you have mentioned. Honestly, to me, it just sounds like another cop out to not leave Jersery for anything that wasnt an NHRA event.

Don't like the format,stay home.It's so simple even a caveman can comprehend it.

I have been following this thread and it is really quite interesting.

The sad part is that the Nostalgia SS/S cars are somewhat closer to fitting into the "original" rules of Stock and Super Stock than some of today's cars are, and yet they are not welcome.

I don't see the harm in letting them run in a combo race with a good payout that is not an NHRA/IHRA sanctioned event for points or anything.
