NSCA 2006 Super Street Rules, Revision 1

NPS Nova said:

Michael, as you can tell by my screen name, I might be in NPS with a minor rule change if the combo stays the way it is. Also looking at S/S or 10.5 stuff as well. Would like to run Martin and Columbus, but Thompson, if I recall correctly, has quite the drop off after the finish line. If this is the same IHRA track that had a National event there back in the 90's ( :smt033 YES the 90's ) we almost rolled our B/D small block Ford there on the first pass. Either way, would like to run 2 or 3 races and this comes into play when I'm thinking about the combo and where I can run. More places = better for the racers. If funds are there, than so will I.

John, I haven't been there lately. But I Kknow they completely redid the bottom end of the track a couple years ago.

There was a major re-do of the track a few years back, they did away with alot of the drop off at the end of the track. The New Track Owner (heck of a nice guy) is having the people that profiled milled Norwalk Raceway Park do the entire track this next spring. They are planning to do additional improvement prior to the 2006 racing season as well.

Track operators son filled me in on the whole dilly.

I am excited to support the series that has given us all a great place to race. I will pay more entry fee for less payout. I will pay more membership fee for less benefits. I will travel long distances to race in front of fewer fans. I will never expect national media coverage. After I spend all my money and go broke I will sell my race operation at a huge loss. I will wear my championship jacket with pride and it will not bother me to explain what a "NSCA" is to the uneducated masses.

I could be a skosh outta line here......but don't you a few rounds to get a jacket???? :smt033

Tom, I heard a rumor that Thompson was going to be an NHRA track. Any truth to this? It has been many years since I've been there.

Does this thread mean no one cares about NSCA's S/S class? Just wondering..

Monty, I would like to say I would like to race with them. I will not be following the series, but since I will most likely never get to race in Vegas, and Orlando might not happenn with a car, this is the closest thing to BIG TIME racing I could get. The OSCA, CFSC and Milan racing will be the norm for me, but would like to run a couple races with NSCA just to say, "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT". It's more of a "people" thing with me than the series. I do remember when this series was THE BIG TIME street series. Just keeping my options open. :-D

That's fine. The series is looking for more local guys to run now, instead of trying to get guys to follow the series. With the economy down and the popularity of local organizations and series, it's not feasible or attractive for many to follow the series. The focus will be on easy rules to get the locals to come out and play and maybe take out one of the few loaded guys that can go to every race. Looking forward to seeing you at Martin!

Wow Tony was listening when he called me.. :-D

Thompson has been a NHRA track for a little while now, I don't know if its going to stay that way but it might depend on what Norwalk does.

Not if there are no other cars to race. :smt098

MR. with what you wrote regarding "The focus will be on easy rules to get the locals to come out and play and maybe take out one of the few loaded guys that can go to every race".

With you saying that is there any thought of dropping the series points (or severly revising them) to accomodate this line of thinking? I think the points are kind of a joke in most classes, it looks like it boils down to who attended the most races won a championship for the last 3 years or so.

tom cowle

Can't argue with that. That will always be the situation when there aren't that many people following the series. While the current points series arrangement is the tradition for any racing series, I always like the "big bang" deal at Memphis or Columbus in this case. Perhaps going back to the one big race to crown champions would be a cool idea but there would still have to be some kind of incentive to keep the racers coming back that do enjoy following the series around. There are still quite a few guys in the NSS, AMC, EFI ranks that go to almost all the races and probably will attend all of them now that the series has a more northern schedule. Any thoughts Tom?

Points should be for the people who follow the series.....I go to all the races therefor I will gain more points than a 4 race person. Thanks for making my accomplishment a joke.

I agree Jim and it works well in AMC, NSS, and EFI. They all have good car count so your accomplishment really means something. In some of the other classes, the championship looks questionable. No sleight on your accomplishments at all.

I just got done writing a not so friendly response, and decided against it. "I" choose to race with the NSCA. It is my decision and mine only. I am tired of defending my decision to people who say they race but I never see them. Oh well not worth getting my blood pressure up about. I know how I feel and the rest of the people that support the NSCA. Say what you want enjoy racing they way you want to race......

Any input Tom?

Do the opinions from the members of this inane board matter? :-D

I see Hutch is looking out for John and maybe myself with the roots stuff. No need to add. These guys will be way faster than myself this year ( 7.50 cert. ). But keeping an open mind for the future. 8)

Jim (#1 nutlicker, or whatever your going by...JUST KIDDING take care of that blood pressure!!). Its not meant as a slam by any means, the classes that have the higher attendance numbers (AM, NSS, EFI) should be all means follow a point system where it pays to show every event. If you look at the attendance numbers of the classes higher on the food chain a 20 second Yugo could have placed as high as 2nd in points if they could pass tech and attend every race. Nothing personal.

4 points races should be counted and the finals should be worth double points.

Tom Cowle

Looking better MR.

It depends on whether the opinion is inane or not? :-D

And who makes that decision? I hope you guys hired someone cause thus far the decision making process has been a tough one.. :-D
