2009 Season ***NSS & NPS Discussion & POLL*** - 12/26/08 02:19 PM
I am sure that I have forgotten a few things. But since I am the "keyboard cowboy" of the group. I will do my best to maintain this thread, and get everything in order, to present at a mtg TBA. at a later date.
Everyone has great ideas, and opinions so lets keep it clean & fun, as this thread may, & will probably be presented to track owners at some point in time in early 2009.
Fire AWAY Boys.
If you plan on RACING or just ATTENDING PLEASE vote. Spectators fill the stands.
ps..A free T-Shirt & Raffle ticket(hemi) to whomever figures out the CARLAN-SORGE name.
(The name is obviously subject & open to change).
I just thought it was kinda Catchy

This is a good poll, and will give us an idea.
But, remember, everything must be run through Beaver Bob.....he will want a good gate, and he KNOWS what works and what does not.
Let's all get together in January sometime. I am sure we can work this out and make it happen.

BG and I will set it up with Beaver Bob. We may pick a spot in the middle, meet with him over dinner, and get this hammered out. I'll speak to him next week, find out when he's free, start working on setting up a date.

I spoke to Beaver a short time ago....he is kind of hyped.
He said that anytime in January is good for him....with the exception of the last week (he's going to be out of town). Dinner and a rule "committee" meeting.
So, we ought to figure out where everyone is at....maybe look at a central location?
Let's start thinking about it. Do you guys want me to contact Dink Bishop at 422 and tell him what is going on? So they don't think we just showed up and ganged up on them poor Ford guys?

I think this idea was "born" here on Moparts. The majority of the ideas, & footwork will be done on here as well.
While I agree that I don't want any Brand X people to feel "ganged up on". I personally
think the first mtg should be just MOPARTS members. We can decide from there how to proceed.
I am sure that as long as we stick to a FAIR set of guidelines & rules. I will bet by the time we are done, that the NMCA rules will just be "tweaked" a bit to allow MORE cars, and MORE fun.

Have one class with the more pure Nostalgia rules (as those racers see fit), and a second class with more open rules, but Nostalgia looking from the stands (year, model, hood scoop, etc). This second class should allow a lot of entries, i.e. car count.
I assume they will be index classes, maybe 0.50 seconds between classes. Run all the same class against each other until pairs are gone (heads up), then mix them on the bracket sportsman 0.500" tree in later rounds. Perhaps pre-announce all indexes mix after 3rd round or something.
Now, where did I put that hemi scoop for my car...

These rules are for an all Mopar event unless discussions from the backers decide otherwise.( other events could include all makes)
70 74 ( 68 darts and Cudas are being strongly considered )
Hemi block 4500's tunnel cast intake prefered for correct look. I realize this means all Hemi cars for the Curt George event but we need to start somewhere
any trans trans brakes permitted
body, hood etc. wheels period correct
no tube chassis small block mini P/S
any motor weight cubic inch
8.50 no breakout ALLOWED
Your talking about the "MATCHRACE" rules.???
The NPS rules are gonna have to be discussed & voted on I would think.
But I agree 100%,.. Hemi Fred should be the master mind behind the matchrace rules.
I can't believe I just used HemiFred & the words "Master Mind" in the same sentence.
Who woulda thunk....it has happened
What's wrong with that? I use HemiFred and Masterbate in the same sentence all the time.Well something similar,he plays well with himself.

422 Motorsports rules are directly from the NMCA. For those not familiar the NMCA is the sanctioning body that basically started Nostalgia Super Stock racing in the late '80s.
There currently are several organizations which write and endorse rules for the class of cars generally known as Nostalgia Super Stock.
Some of them are The Nostalgia Super Stock National Association, National Muscle Car Association, Nostalgia Super Stocks Inc, Texas Outsiders, the East Coast Nostalgia Super Stock Association, 422 Motorsports and so forth.
These groups have a variety of perspectives and purposes and therefore have differences among them.
As best we can research, the oldest of these is a private club named Nostalgia Super Stocks Inc., which can document its official origin to 1989 when it was then named the Midwest Nostalgia Super Stock Association.
Prior to that, there were several individuals in Missouri running NSS-style cars informally, as early as 1985. These racers are the ones who organized the Midwest Nostalgia Super Stock Association.
In the mid 1990’s, several internal disagreements led to a split of the club with one group using the original Midwest Nostalgia Super Stock Association name and the other changing to Nostalgia Super Stocks Inc.
The Midwest group has disbanded, leaving NSS Inc. the survivor.
NSS Inc. is still a private club which primarily does CLOSED events in the Midwest, mostly match-racing and exhibition programs. It also has jurisdiction in the Goodguys series. Accordingly, over the years it has evolved a set of subjective rules for its own purposes.
In contrast, NMCA created a season-long points series based on OPEN competition over a wide geographical area and accordingly has evolved a set of more objective rules for its purposes.
The Texas Outsiders is also a private club but has adopted NMCA rules for its events.
There might be some confusion from the history because from approximately 1989 to 1994, NSS Inc. (then Midwest) did exhibition programs at NMCA events.
Currently, some individual track owners and promoters also run NSS events based on their own subjective interpretations of what NSS racing is and should be.
Knowing the difference between closed exclusive and open inclusive formats is essential to understanding the current state of NSS racing and its rules.
Earlier this year, a committee of individual racers from NSS Inc., The Texas Outsiders and NMCA formed the Nostalgia Super Stock National Association in response to complaints about arbitrary rule-making and the need of the National Hot Rod Association for consistent management of NSS racing at its events.
Because of the nature of open competition at a national level, the NSSNA primarily adopted NMCA rules, with some revisions for clarification and for consistency with current practice in open events. These are the rules which are posted on the Evansville Chrysler and NSS-Monster websites.
As stated in the NSSNA charter, its rules are intended to be the standard for open competition, defined as an event at which anyone can pay an entry fee and become eligible for inspection. The NSSNA currently has jurisdiction at NHRA’s Hot Rod Reunion and the Dave Duell Classic NSS Nationals.
Individual racers and private clubs and others are free to make their own choices and that will always be a fundamental principle. However, the NSSNA believes that consistency in the rules is also a long-term benefit for the sport and encourages all participants to consider this aspect.
The traditional way to manage this difference in formats has been to change equipment and/or to have a vehicle for each format. While this solution requires additional financial and labor costs, perhaps that is still the best method in order to preserve both individual choice and integrity in the sport.
Rule-making is a difficult process that requires a balance between allowing for dynamic changes and also providing a stable format. Therefore, the NSSNA is constantly communicating with participants and reviewing the suitability of the rules consistent with actual and desired practice.
I hope this explanation helps clarify the current situation. We always welcome additional historical information.

Sounds like another governmental agency in the making.Ruled and regulated to death by DEP,EPA.OSHA,IMSHAW,NTB,PUC,NTC and IRS.and on and on.Let's just get a group together set some grund rules,see if we can get this thing started nand if it's successful build on it.Why try and pattern it after other closed organizations that may or may not be successful?
I "borrowed" this from the Beaver Springs thread.
I am getting dizzy bouncing back-n-forth on these 2 threads.
Steve mentioned once that he didn't want us to get "ahead" of ourselves, and I agree. We have NOT made definite plans with Beaver Bob, or with any track as of yet.
But I agree 100% with BG. This is a lets have some fun in 2009. Not an event, or series that we need rules to regulate us until the year 2019. We need enough guidelines to present to track owners / promoters.
The simplest plan... is our best friend.

Casey
Casey, sorry, its not a 588 anymore it went to a 604 with B1 heads and still the indy 440-25 crossram and still on a 10.5 tire.
i think it would be awesome also but i can keep mine on the track!!!
just ask BG the porcupine hunter.

"The Yankee Fish Peddler"drives with on hand on the wheel,the other on his crotch and balls to the wall,literally.Then there is those of us that can drive a straight line.

Hey CJ.
I think the best thing about this idea, it that it will be US that makes the rules, & guidelines.
So I hope the 422 motorsports guys understand that this time it is OUR sandbox.
I would hate to see you sit this one out. But on the same hand, I would also hate to see them not attend.
I think your "encounter" with them was unfortunate. (I don't know them, have never even met them) But hopefully we can use your encounter to help build a better set of rules for this event.

The "Yankee Fish Peddler" will lie and "The Hemmoridities" will swear to it.They also do their own film editing and can make videos of people and things that really never happened.Those barnyard youtube videos they posted are not of me,honest

Question on the rear frame requirements for NSS.
I think 4 link is legal as are tubs, but last I heard the rear rails could be moved but could not be replased with tubing like is allowed in NHRA SS cars. Any thought to allowing NHRA legal SS cars as long as they have the correct tire size?
You might get a few more cars. I know I would consider running but the new car is tube in the rear, not original rails. It is NHRA SS legal.

Beaver always packs the house for these shows.....Beaver Bob is the master at promoting this stuff.
That is why we need to get with him, and keep it uniquely nostalgia. NHRA/IHRA stockers OK, but if we allow Super Gas/Bracket type/chassied electronics in the Modified class we will lose real quick. I has to be unique.
