On a positive note, the May NMCA race in Bowling Green , KY is the weekend before the Sportsnationals, so maybe it will attract some class racers that are looking for back to back weekends of racing.

Unfortunately it is same weekend as Norwalk Divisional. Should draw good with the southern guys, but the Indiana and Ohio racers are going to have to choose.

The NMCA 2017 schedule was set in stone long before the new class was added and it would be foolish to expect them to bend over backwards or shuffle just for this new S/SS addition. Neither NMCA or NMRA will ever schedule their events around anything the NHRA has going on...hard to argue with success.

Atlanta should have better car counts...likely more IHRA cars since many can't run D2's Galot race and Atlanta is closer for many of the NHRA racers. I watched some of the Bradenton livestream coverage and while the myriad of classes would take some getting use to the ability to enter multiple classes sounds enticing.

I might be right there at the bottom as well Rich.
My 95 GT should run right on the 14.55 index if the air temp is less than 90 degrees

Jim Bailey just won the inaugural NMCA Stock/Super Stock Combo. Congrats Jim! Good decision to stay home and race.

So they run the Stock/Super Stock Combo at every race?

Does it run as a standalone eliminator or with something else?

Thanks,
Bill

Stand alone eliminator with only class cars.
They plan to have it at every NMCA race they have this year ( 6 total I believe)

The combo class cars can also enter Bracket 2 as well, if I read the rules correctly
