I'm quite sure a letter expelling why a nose-heavy Stocker on a 9-inch tire needs to carry the front end (hence the need for bars), and will help them understand that a Stocker is different then a 210 mph power adder car that can ramp in the power. Communication would go a long way in helping them understand why bars are necessary, rather than posting that you're not going unless they change a rule. NMCA has invested in these classes, and they have a nice following of racers, but they would love to see NHRA and IHRA racers try their series.

With that, I will be meeting with the NMCA at PRI to discuss having a Stock/Super Stock combo at select events. If this is preferred, rather than joining existing classes, please let me know. Take a look at the NMCA schedule and let me or Gene know what event(s) you could make. Your response could help define the outcome.

Thanks,

As posted before in this thread, a combo race is the easiest and the most "new participant friendly " way to go.

Class racers make no changes to their cars or their routine.

Plus, with a combo race the track announcer could "talk-up" the class cars and try to explain to the spectators a little about these cars and what we can and cannot do to them.
