I agree. And not just because I'm Kevins and your brother. Looking and learning and looking statistically and mathematically at the way the advantages and penalties in the class are, they need some tweaking for sure. But nothing in this world is in stone, so we simply need to talk to the right people and present them with the right case.

I agree with you totaly. How in the hell can you call these newer camaros and corvetts nostalga. That is totale B.S if you ask me the aerodynamics alone put's them at a disadvantage, I think they should put a year limit on the class, like pro street, nostalga pro street, mod pro street, and out law pro street, or somthing like that. Just my thoughts

FYI: I'm pretty sure the "nostalgia" part is regarding the rules, not the caryear.

I'm just saying, it should be abought a car year. ther should be a cut off or diferent year classes.

oh, yeah, i agree with that.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! so who do I have to bitch at to get this taken car of for you guy's

nmca =/

They suck, they still havent updated ther web sit abought the race.

and it's been over 24 hours of me waiting for my account to be approved so i can post!

May be thats the problem, you need to find a new association alltogether.Put a blower on the fricken thing and run pro mod.

I dont think its too soon to petition for some rule changes.

Lets go, where do I sign.

ahhh.... where to start.
updated website... what information are you looking for? if you are looking for race information in the lounge chances are that you will not find it there. they make a section specific to each race. here is the link for memphis.

kris... be patient. you have to remember that most of the nmca staff is traveling still. they did not leave memphis till yesterday and then most of them take a day off to recoup.
now as far as nostalgia... yes the term is meant for the way in the car is built (the rules) and not the year of the car. this has been something that i have heard many many many times...especially when we brought out the vette. right now they are keeping the name because that is what the class is known as.... why change the name of the class when it works. Same goes for the rules. I know that our team would benefit if a bone was thrown our way. the camaro is a brick... a big steel brick. The class works as it is now. NO heads up class in nmca had as many cars as we did this year (not to mention that many nps racers followed the series rather then just going to the convienent races). As far as the motor that is in moms car being the same motor that was in the vette... yeah it went faster in the vette... i do not know how to say this without sounding like an ass. my brother can drive... he is a driver... my mom...well she could use alot more seat time. as she is getting better in the car her times are improving... as she showed this weekend. that car has potential to get into the low 50's we just have to take the baby steps to get it there. i guess i am done ranting for now...

maybe not ... one more thing.
"May be thats the problem, you need to find a new association alltogether" the only way that kevin is going to swtich the nova to another association and be competative is to make some major (and expensive) changes to the nova. there used to be a mirror class at another association however they felt that the class was going nowhwere and threw it out like yesterdays trash. i guess as the the old saying goes... one man's trash is another man's treasure.

During the course of the racing year, it is expected that some of our NMCA Edelbrock Drag Racing Participants will have questions or concerns about official NMCA rules and regulations. We accept that there will be situations in which rules clarifications and/or changes are warranted. We acknowledge that there is room for improvement in communication between the NMCA racers and the NMCA rules committee. It is important for NMCA to provide racers with a way to get a timely response on rules issues.

In some cases, there will be areas of the official NMCA rulebook that a participant may feel are either (a) in error or (b) not in the best interest of the class as a whole. It is the goal of the NMCA to appreciate our racers/customers, and listen to their concerns, and consider them in a thoughtful manner.

We appreciate our racer's dedication, and their commitment to competing at the top levels of Street Drag Racing. We are providing this procedure to guarantee an actual response to any formal rules change suggestion. If you post your suggestion on the message boards, e-mail a rules committee member individually, or speak with someone over the phone, we cannot promise a response.

NMCA RULES COMMITTEE

The NMCA rules are evaluated by the NMCA Rules Committee which is responsible for the rules creation, enforcement, and revisions. The committee for 2007 is composed of Senior Tech Advisor Mike Bruns, James Lawrence, Charlie Harmon, and Scott Sparrow.

IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT A RULES CHANGE PROPOSAL OR CLARIFICATION.

We have created a procedure for proposing official NMCA rules clarifications to the NMCA rules committee. If you would like to submit a rules change or clarification for consideration, this is the ONLY way to initiate the process.

Write a detailed letter to NMCA explaining the specific changes you are suggesting to the printed rulebook. Please refer to class, rulebook section (#1-#13) and specific subheading. Detail the "wording" changes that you are proposing. In the second paragraph, please explain the "reasoning" behind the change, and detail how you believe it will affect the best interests of the class as a whole. Please include your name, car number, and contact information including address, telephone, and e-mail.

Send this e-mail to: tech@fasteststreetcar.com. All e-mails sent to tech@fasteststreetcar.com will be forwarded to the entire NMCA rules committee members.


Within two weeks, follow up with any member of the rules committee to get the result of the rules change proposal for consideration to the committee. If you have specific questions from this point forward they should be addressed via e-mail address is tbates@promediapub.com.


The NMCA Tech Committee will review the rules change proposal, and NMCA will formally respond in writing to the racer within 2 weeks from original submission. All NMCA formal rules proposals sent in the proper format to tech@fasteststreetcar.com will get a response within 2 weeks.
Thanks for working with us! We appreciate any and all valid input and would be thankful for all constructive help in improving the classes.

They NEED to work on the rules.


kevin runs a small NOS pill and a 632. he's allowed 3175 lbs.


If he dropped to a 532, he could double the NOS, and lose a TON of weight.

we'd CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUSH everyone if we did this, but wouldnt it just be better to fix the rules so it's even across the board?
