They are proven to work, fairly easy to police, relatively inexpensive (compared to all other heads up) classes,with factory support. What more could a heads up racer want? Lol NHRA would do well to adopt these programs.

Thanks Tony, you caught me. I had tried various web sites after our discussion. Then after the latest posts could not find again. I hoped to sneak it back out as a topic to find more information. So many guys talk about the cheaters in round track it is a shame. Maybe not enforcement... Sounds good to me too.

The classes are thriving in NMRA and NMCA, and the way they are set up makes cheating very hard to do.

I have to agree with Tony. The NMCA/NMRA sealed classes are not the same deal as the roundy-round stuff. To my knowledge, there are no "authorized" rebuilders for the DR525. The seals are also way different on the DR525.

Suppose Chevy would like to support the class at an NHRA sanction? I imagine they are sponsor at NMCA events, right? The financial opposite of SS/AH don't you think? I guess it needs input from racers who have seen it flourish at the other sanction. It would have a group of racers ready to make the introduction events....I need to read the trans rules etc
Chevrolet Performance Stock DR525 motor and controller only $9000.00 from Jegs.

Why wouldn't you run the NMCA? They treat racers well, the payouts aren't bad, and they have a national championship. They also need the car count.
