Ok so now I understand the class better. It is basically a closed exibition class.
Also don't take my comment about the ebody class serious. I like racing against any type of vehicle. I just don't like bracket racing.But I won't build a spec car for a class because the rules keep changing and classes come and go quicker than I can build a car to meet the rules.

Seems you are making your own bed here.
You won't go Bracket racing, which is for any safe car to run at a level the owner is comfortable and can afford.
You won't race in a class because of the costs and changes.
You want to run your car that doesn't fit into an existing exhibition class for different cars.
Like what was said, if you want to run your car in it's own closed exhibition class, develop a class and get the money and other racers lined up to present to a promoter as a package.

There are FAST, NSS, N P/S (is that going?) various doorslamer, altered, F/C and other groups all working to provide a good safe show for spectators and like-minded racers. Either build to one of those or start your own.
BTW, a bunch of "street cars that look stock with the hood closed, except wheels and tires" could be a bit boring and the owners will all be harder to herd than cats.
The FAST guys are already going fast enough to be running into safety/looks problems. I'm sure there are plenty of "street cars that look stock with the hood closed, except wheels and tires" that can run nines. Are you going to be happy running these guys and how will you keep them safe without a cage and the other stuff that goes with 9s?

I love Nostalgia Super Stock. Where else can you watch period correct cars from the 1960's battle it out with their 500"+ big blocks, Weld wheels, and 32x14 tires (10.5W's as you call them)?

---

Now that's funny!

Don't forget fiberglass panels, lexan windows, and oversized 'factory' hood scoops. But don't call them bracket cars.

---

I don't mind the fiberglass panels as long as they still look stock. I HATE the oversized scoops. They ruin the "NOstalgia" look IMO. I also like the period correct wheels. They should put in a wheel restrictions to TT, SS and Keystones. I want it to look like it's right out of 1965 issue of SS&DI.

I spent a long time looking for these for my N/SS car. Hopefully the carbs will fit under the stock scoop as well.

The rears were easy to find

The fronts were a lot tougher. supposedly only 50 pair of 4" made.

I forgot the 200S. Good looking wheel. Too bad they don't make a modern version of the old wheels to make them look right.

I guess part of the problem is everyone wants to run 500"+ engines and a lot more power than they used to make. Nobody had 800 HP back then. Even the Pro Stocks didn't make 800 HP in the early 1970s from what I remember.

Doug, I think the idea was to try to limit the class to those that originally represented an available factory "package" SS car...i.e., Hemi & Wedge b body 62-67; R code Galaxies, T bolts, Z-11 409s, 427 Fairlanes and the like. The later factory "package" cars, the AMX's, 68 CJ's, and Hemi Darts & Cudas have been included for that reason. There may be an exception or two, but not many.

Don't lash me to the mast on that...but I'm pretty sure that is the deal, because the cars are representative of those offerings.

Yeah, you could say it's an enclosed exhibition class, but the racing is hard and close.

Doug, sorry we missed you at the Nitro Jam. We spent some time with Bob Roles, he's got that car flyin', doesn't he? See you at the Beaver.

Hey Steve, funny I was thinking the other night on my very first NSS event I attended at Beavers. You were the first car I took notice to pulling in on the trailer. You were also the first person I talked to that weekend to learn more about NSS. In that same conversation thats also when I learned who Bob George is. I dont know if you remember that or not. It was back when the event first started and you were parked across the other side of the pits opposite from where you park now.
The Nitro Jam I heard was a good time. I wanted to go but work obligations kept me tied up. I talked to Bob Roles that Monday after the event and he said he did go a few rounds and had a good time. He mentioned he spoke to you guys also. Yes the cars running fast. Its gone as fast as 8.80's and forced him to install a chute.
Take care and see you soon.
