A heads-up race for the final. Shaw has been to one final in this event. This is Speer's first Allstar final.
Speer gets a huge advantage off the line, Shaw starts reeling him in but quickly runs out of race track.

Yes yes it's cool when it happens but it's the exception not the rule we just need more of it to keep the tiddlywinks racers running one and two and three under honest. 1 lb weight brakesAnd fewer classes would have more heads up runs. Why do you think NMCA is so popular? Too much Bracket racing is going to kill the category just like they did Pro Stock with the belly button Shinola show LOL

Here is a link from their last event which was the SUPERBOWL.This is usually their biggest event.
Doesn't look that popular to me.The classes with the largest car counts are not heads up/no breakout.

Race here in Indy even during Covid was very cool! Cars everywhere. I was entered. Nice to see an all door slammer race with tons of cars and no belly button dragsters everywhere. Lol!

NMCA is popular cause the payout is good. The chances of a heads up there is even less tho when they mix in all the IHRA and NHRA classes. Even MORE of a bracket race......

CORRECT! They need more cars. If Current Sanctioning Body doesn't wiseup they'll get them! Love NHRA but S/SS isn't a tiddleywink race or a Super Bellybutton either! Its the STANDARD BADA$$ SHOWDOWN GRASSROOTS PRECIDENT CATAGORY! PERIOD! ASK MEYER!

I cant remember. I ran the Bradenton NMCA event this year. It was well run and a good time. It was all NHRA racers there in SS. The indexes are the old IHRA indexes so a bit slower than NHRA. There was about 25 SS cars there so not much chance for a heads up. I will run there again next year if they have that race again. The program is a bit different from what we are used to and it moves quickly. No dragsters there either.

Yes NMCA does have heads up races. The only stipulation is you can't run more than a tenth quicker that you qualified.
