My gut reaction is yes, but I would message Dan Woods on Facebook (he's a Ford guy). It's more about the type of car, it's appearance and not the engine.

I love this as Cecil is where I like to race since I drive my car to the track and my brother only lives a few miles from Cecil. But I now know I will be out of commission for a few months at least. My left knee has gotten so bad I have to have it replaced on March the 19th. So I hope later in the summer I can make a race or two. Ron What do you mean late summer.My wife had both of her knees replaced at the same time and was released by the doctor to do what ever she wanted 11 days later. Good luck with your surgery. Have both done if your other is also bad as it will need it soon also. Google knee replacement, pretty interesting . Got a drill ,saw and hammer?

I have had people telling me I wont be back to normal for 3 months or longer. They had me thinking I wont be driving for months. So I hope your much closer to the time I will be getting the new knee working good. That will be great if I am only down for even a month as then I wont miss any racing or cruising season. Thanks , Ron

I don't see how a Gen3 is in any "nostalgia"...I was hoping they'd want cars that are era-correct, or better yet, actual racecars from that era. I can understand what you mean as I guess you would want the cars to have engines something like they had back then ? But no one can see the eng when the car is going down the track. Course when I see some Nostalgia cars that are mid 60's cars and they are running 8's that is also a bit misleading since they were no where near that fast back then. I guess the most important thing is the look should be right or thats what I think. I like it when they have to have the right hood scoops also as that helps keep the right look. I just don't like to see the rules get to easy as then it may start to get farther away from the Nostalgia look that the class is all about. Course myself I am just glad to see a lot of Nostalgia classes because its the type of racing I love. Ron

Sounds like a great series! I look forward to possibly hitting some of United NS/S races at the Beaver, Cecile County is a little to far.
I'm glad you are opening Nostalgia Super Stock up to more cars - Small Blocks, 50's & 70's cars 1,2, or 3 carburetor's included.
Bob is right, in order for the class to survive promoters & purest need to realize that we need to open it up to more combinations....
However I think that there has to be limitations. I personally don't think LS and GenIII Hemi's have a place in Nostalgia Racing even with a Carburetor.(just my opinion) If you're going to use the thought that no one knows what is under the hood when it's going down the track, then one can say the same about the interior, or the frame rails of the car. Why not allow early 1980's Super Gas Small Block 69 Camaro that has been back halved with an all aluminum interior run Nostalgia Super Stock as long as they take the snorkel hood scoop off. I think just by allowing Small Block Camaro's alone will greatly improve the car counts. For Crying Out Loud, they're still making them LOL.
Nostalgia racing was started by the men and women who lived and raced in the 60's. But we are at a time when that generation is retiring, and unfortunately some cases dyeing off. It's time for the youth of the 70's to relive there younger days, so the class MUST evolve to accommodate them. (this is where I feel NMCA is making a mistake) And as Bob mentioned another issue facing NS/S is every organization has it's own set of rules. A racers has to call ahead of time to see if they are legal... or make the trip to the track only to find out that they don't fit the rules... NOT GOOD. Or one race is .500 full tree - another race is .400 full tree and another race is .500 Pro Tree. Too confusing. Unified Rules would be a huge help.
With this all being said, UNSS allowing GenIII Hemi's and LS engines in NS/S would not stop me from supporting the organization or racing with them. I wish them the best. They're success will only help the future of Nostalgia Super Stock.

I don't see how a Gen3 is in any "nostalgia"...I was hoping they'd want cars that are era-correct, or better yet, actual racecars from that era. Well considering the gen 3 is in a 65 coronet with super stock interior a super stock Hemi scoop and the fact that 99% of people can't tell the difference I guess he figured it would be ok. People better wake up to the fact that the nostalgia thing is about played out and we better start making this stuff attractive to a younger crowd classic car prices are on the decline before you know it there won't be a nostalgia anything. I have raced the nostalgia classes for years in NMCA won a championship in nostalgia muscle car and raced NSS in multiple series. With the lack of aftermarket support on blocks for big blocks and gen 2 Hemi's I refuse to spend 20K+ for a 700-800HP wedge or Hemi when I can do a gen 3 for 10K.
