Dick,

NSS rules are NOT dial in, all classes run off indexes, if you run under the index you're out, run to slow and get beat. The indexes are run at 1/2 second intervals and you build your car to match the index.

There are NO electronics allowed, foot brake only.

And ....it's fun!

Even worse. We ran that way off dial in set at NOON in heat and raced at 2:00 AM with 1000 better Air..Several Years. We considered it miserable.. Then air stations and dial every run was better, still Dial In racing.... If you run at 10.50 against another 10.50 are you heads up or no break out?
Isnt that like running a S/G car and a S/C or ST car on dial in?

Dick,

When you tech your car in you must declare your index, after that you cannot change it....if it's 11.50 then that's what you run off the entire race. If you go faster then you lose. If you run someone in the same class (index) it's heads up, break out and you lose, first to the stripe wins....no leeway.

Think of super gas with different indexes 10, 10.50, 11...etc but with no electronics. Run too fast and break out, too slow and lose and the cars must look the same as when raced in the '60's and '70's with few exceptions like the AFX classes.

If you google NMCA they have the rules and their schedule and I believe their first race is in Bradenton, go watch and talk to some of the guys, it's a good time.
