BUT, I'm sorry, under the current circumstances, (that may never allow me to race again), it really ticks me off to hear whining from racers about "stuff ", STUFF that in the giant scheme of things is truly unimportant. Prepare your Hot Rod, select the races within your budget and time allotment, Go Racing and have fun! ... HAVE FUN ! ... It's your choice............( NMCA ...fish in a barrel ... ok .... can you swim Jimbo ...LOL ...)

OK, But! Wouldn't you have liked to have gone to BOTH races? If hey were on different dates you could have! That's my point. Why keep putting the races on the same date and make races have to chose between them? Jim

So....correct me if I'm wrong. With NHRA Division 2 going to a 2 day race format, couldn't we qualify at NMCA Bradenton on Friday. Race Gainesville NHRA on Sat., return and shoot the NMCA fish in the barrel on Sunday?! ( It always rains on Sunday at G'ville anyhow, and they won't change the date! ) ... Conflicting Race Schedule Problem Solved ! ....lmao

That is a possibility but Rich Shaffer will probably want to run a round of eliminations on Friday evening and screw up that plan. I really was hoping that they would fix that conflict this year. I would have attended.

Bit confused here, I haven’t even found the NMCA schedule for 2018, can someone provide a link to that? I’ll be back out next year and trying to put my own schedule together and prepared to make choices that allow me to try one of the NMCA events.

Thanks Jim.

"In reviewing that race it was like shooting fish in a barrel for you. Jim"


Yes there was only 8 cars at NMCA first STK/SS race I would hardly say it was like shooting fish in the barrel for Jim Bailey....The 8 racers there might disagree with that statement.
