Nostalgia Series at Keystone Raceway Park

Bud's Auto Sales and Bower Hill Auto Body is pleased to announce that our local Keystone Nostalgia Series will be at Keystone again this year, for the fourth year. This little series, and it's as big as we want it to get, has been received much more than Ronnie, Pat and I had ever expected, generally drawing 30-45 cars depending on the weather, the size of the event, etc. It's a series by geezers and for geezer and those who in the future will be geezers, and we run six events at Keystone. No buy backs, .4 tree, dial with a zero or a .05, no electronics, not only for NSS cars but we allow gassers, modifieds, stuff like that. So, keep us in mind, if you are looking to have some fun and get the old iron out. More details on our facebook page, or drop me a line. If you are looking to argue about the rules, don't bother. Ain't happening. If you are someone who wants to enjoy some cammeradity, have some fun, c'mon and try it. If you are super serious and want to race for blood, this may not be for you. But, we're throwing it out there. $700 win, $300 RU.....

Sounds like a good little series.

I enjoyed it quite a bit last year, even though that .400 tree is like speaking Spanish for me.

Hopefully doubling the purse up to $700 will bring out even more old iron.

Are transbrake legal for this year Steve, or has this been changed?

where can we see the rules ?? and I use a transbrake with out a delay box so I have to leave off the bottom bulb too

I wish

I've been doing this race for a couple years. Lots of fun with a variety of good looking cars and friendly drivers. It's a fun race. The .004 tree is a challenge, but it's equally challenging to everyone. I'm hoping to be there again this year.

Thanks for the kind words. We will allow a transbrake, but if you use it you must dial to the nearest tenth. Otherwise must dial to nearest half tenth. The only electronics otherwise is a two step for stick cars in deference to the guys who have to clean up the starting line. 68Lar, who posted earlier, has one of the cleanest 4 speed Road Runners around, and there are several of them.

The reason for the .4 tree is exactly that......to level the playing field. It is equally challenging whether you've sat it out for thirty years or if you are a killer bracket guy. That is exactly what we want. We've had a lot of different winners, and, that, too, is what we want. We want it to be fun deal, not a killer bracket event. The rules are on our facebook page.

A car with a transbrake and adjustable button can dial in the .400 tree. 😀

this is for sale if some one wants to spend $$ to run nss hehehehe

Is it 1/4 mile? Can you deep stage?

so if I use the transbrake I cant have a 2 step ?? I have a 2 step to leave at 3000 rpms but I don't have a delay box. whats the difference ? its doing the same thing as the 4 speed cars are using it for ??

???

NO BUY BACKS. LIKE THE OLD DAYS, TAKE YOUR SHOT AND GO FOR IT.

THIS IS A FUN ELMINATOR. BRING THE OLD IRON OUT AND HAVE SOME FUN. MOST OF US HAVE FIGURED OUT YEARS AGO THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET RICH DOING THIS, SO MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SOME FUN. THAT'S WHAT GOT US ALL TO THE TRACK IN THE FIRST PLACE.

To be honest, most guys with the transbrakes elect not to use them to be more adjustable in their dial. I don't use one, never have, so I don't know, but that's what I've noticed. The difference is without the two step the stick car is freewheeling the engine, and that is often when failure happens. It's much easier to control that with the two step.........so, that rule was a special request from those whose task it would be to clean it up.

Work is crimping my style with very little vacation...Would love to come down there and run one of these days..

I race with the Gasser Racing Series up here.

I'm retired. What is this work thing you speak of? ONLY KIDDING. If you can ever bust loose, we'd love to have you.
