NHRA/NMCA heads up vs bracket

[ALMACK]

I remember in 1987-1988 when the original NMCA was formed.
I was a Buick guy then with '70-'72 GS's.
We thought those '64-'72 Muscle cars were OLD !
There were alot of 17-18 year old cars running in that series.

Those cars were 24 years old at the most .

Now the 1989-1997 cars are the same age.....to put this in perspective.
