I still think I'm thinking right .. I can go 9. 60 in GT/FA Flat out ... So I bag a tenth and set up for a 9.70.... Then if I draw a car that has been running 9,80.s all day... The dial in will be 9,60.. He would have to pick up 2 tenths and I'll only have to pick up one,,,correct ?... Of course there is that pesky breakout ...
Right? ..

I'm with you! That's the way I would race it!

I stopped by the NMCA booth today and talked with Kurt and Rollie, both very nice to talk to. However they let me know that as of now the 2008 and up cars won't be allowed to run NMCA because of comments from some of the racers. 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.

Thanks Alan. Best of luck on the Mustang!

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.

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!

[Larry Hill]

When possible we will give them a try.
