NMCA Jeff,
Are you also paying double if a max wedge car wins? How about runner up and semi money, is it doubled?
We have a 64 hemi and 64 max wedge car. Both are IHRA stock class legal, A and AA stock automatic. I assume that both of these cars will fit in to either NSS or NMC. Are your indexes half or quarter second now?
Thanks for your time, looking forward to coming to this race.

How about allowing a Hemi in prostock and doubling the money if it wins looks like if a mopar wants to be competitive in the NMCA we are limited to the index classes

Makes no sense to me. spend 60k for an a-990 type car so I can go slower than I am now.




but all your doing is playing with yourself.come play with the boys.no one says you have to go slower, spend some money and park the S & M car or stop complaining.

Thats funny. Chris, did you get the other one yet ? I wish I could get the 65. Another time, 5 years ago, it would be in my garage at this price.But it would have been alot higher priced, also.. I Think Fred has got to have something up his sleeve.. Besides Goose !!

Re: Nostalgia HEMI/WEDGE Challenge - 01/30/09 05:46 PM

Jeff, this sounds great. We have a couple of each and will be there.

Is there an additional program exclusively for wedge and Hemi Mopars, or is this a "bonus" for doing well during the NMCA program itself?

Although mine is a pure legal NSS car, we have one that runs the CC Hemi class, and it uses a 14x32 tire, as most of them do. Is there a way those cars can be included?

Any info would be appreciated.

in order to be awarded the prize your car has to fit in either the NSS,NMC, Open Comp or True Street Rules. In NSS the maximum size tire is 10.5Wx31. Open comp is the only class were you can run a 14 32 tire. If you win one of these classes with a HEMI or wedge like the rules state then your eligable for the double purse.

It looks like my 63 would fit the NMCA class real well. I hope I can make it as I would really enjoy it. Ron
