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.

The N/SS cars that run the Tri-State S/SS series, or that have run the Buckeye S/SS series are all very nice cars. The owners keep them up very well. Alot of the cars are either ex super stock cars from back in the "day", or are re-creations of super stock cars.

I don't think it is that much of a stretch to allow them to race in the combo's.

In the Tri-State S/SS association races, there is no qualifying off the index anyway, so the fact that there is no "index" for them is not an issue.

Jack has been at Mike's Hagerstown race. I think it was two years ago with his Chieftan Firebird stocker.

The weather looks good this year. I'm coming for both days. Was working after Superstorm Sandy last year.

In my opionion if there is no qualifying off the index and I assume no heads up. Then it is not a class race. It is a bracket race that only class cars are allowed to enter.

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.
