NSS is very popular in the heart of IHRA country and people like to see the old cars compete plus it might give retired racers a new outlet for their need for speed just like the old days.....but perhaps the NMCA will allow use of it's funds for the NSS cars and consider it a part of one of it's races.

Would be cool to see the new IHRA owners work together with the NMCA/NMRA guys on some sort of special event together.

I raced my Pure Stocker at both the NMCA event and NMRA event @ Bowling Green last year and had a few people ask me about Pure Stock and the IHRA rules.

Maybe have a special Stock/SS exhibition/combo class at those NMRA/NMCA events to expose their fans to class racing.

"Being that the sanctioning body has just gotten bought up,if you were the new owners would you leave things as they are or make changes?"[/QUOTE]

I would do only minor change for the moment, so as to keep the racer and fan base you now have. I would then tweak the rules and such to lure the other racers from the other HRA's etc, and add to my racer and fan base. Trying to stablilize the organization and achieve some credibility, and add some more tracks, for increased coverage.


And hope for the weather to cooperate.
