Hard to believe my antique 27 year old '86 T-Bird is too new to be nostalgic.

And yes, they put on a really good show.

It's not hard to believe at all.

As one of the initial group that raced in NSS I remember why it was started. It was founded to honor the early to mid '60's factory race cars and bring back the hey day of super stock racing not late model cars like yours but you can race yours in the NMCA...they have several classes your car could fit into.

That's the thing though, late model? In 1968 was a 41 Willys a "late model"? Same 27 year difference. Some perspectives have changed over time.

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.
