It may seem to be an archaic methodology but we had some good racing without all the drama of 1000' shutoffs, packing in extra weight, and sandbagging the ladder.

Much better racing back then. Hardly ever saw a break out, ditto brake lights.

I'd like to give it a try!

However, not sure if my car would be allowed based on Mr. Breeden's comments. If his N/A Drag Pak doesn't fit the class, not sure my N/A Cobra Jet motor will either. Only difference is my car is older!

Nick,

Send Rollie and Gene an email at NMCA and tell them you would like to run the combo. Based on what was talked about your GT car wouldn't be allowed either.

Thanks,

Dennis

The supercharged cars can run the FSC class but us NA cars are left out. I understand a lot of racers with older cars don't like the new stuff, I get that. I grew up with the muscle cars and still have my 68 GTX. The new cars are in separate classes now, there are no heads up with older cars so what is the complaint now? If you only want to run with the older cars why not run N/SS? If any of the COPO, Drag Pak or Cobra Jet owners want to run the combo series you had better email NMCA this weekend as they are making a final decision this coming week. I'll hop off my soapbox now.

Wow !
Sorry to hear that Dennis.

As you pointed out, all the N/A FS cars are in their own classes now , so I also cannot see where that would be a problem to include you guys.

I do not currently have a FS car right now, but have been eyeballing a combo for a future build.

I'll send a message to the NMCA today regarding this.

Preliminary says no changes for NHRA/IHRA allowed modifications with the exception of fuel/weight checks...good to go.

I was just reading the rules they posted on their site and I do not see any rule against wheelie bars.

It does say that the NMCA will set their own class indexes for each combination and they remain in effect for the entire 2017 season.
