nostalgia racing


Class racing

The NSS scene is starting to pick up in the North Texas area. I agree with keeping costs down, otherwise run NHRA SS if you have more money than sense (or cents). The only thing I don't like about most of the current NSS cars is the BIG BOX airscoops. They ruin the look of the car IMO. I know everyone wants to run a taller scoop and intake for more power. They used to have an AFX Hemi scoop that was taller at the front that looked decent.I saw the '62 Bubbletop Chevy that ran about 15 years ago as a Dyno Don clone and was supposed to be nostalgia. Tube chassis and Pro Stock style 409 - NOT NOSTALGIA. Closer to Pro Mod.I think a Nostalgia Pro Stock class would be cool. 427 Camaros, 429 Mavericks and Hemi Dusters and Cudas would be cool. There was some discussion about it on Moparts but no one could agree on rules. I would prefer the 1970 rules (first year) with up to 1975 bodies allowed and NO tube chassis cars. Most guys wanted tube chassis, but I thought that was where PS went down the tubes and got really expensive. At some point safety would have forced them to run tube chassis as the cars got faster, but just keep the index at 9-flat and leave it there. Hemi Fred would have to detune for that index, right Fred?
