Today … not so much....On a different note, suppose the race in Bradenton was an IHRA National Event? How would that effect your choices? The fact is … there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for NMCA to change the date of their event.
Things might have changed, but this is how I remember NMCA.
Lots of flat out classes with maybe a dozen or less cars in them. Then there was Nostalgia Super Stock and Nost . Muscle Cars..Both breakout classes with far and away more participation than the aforementioned .
To me , if you could bring in 20-30 more S/SS cars and crew members and fans, that would be a reason to consider using a different date.
Just sayin'.
