As 2022 Race season approaches, there is a guideline change and a procedure change.
Guideline Change
The change is for Competition Gas. Since Competition Gas can be interpreted to include any car manufactured in the Us from 1967 back, it has been determined that this needed to be stated; “Specific body styles associated with Gas Class Racing from the past will only be permitted. For example: 1930’s-1960’s, Uni-body cars like the Chevy II, Falcon, and Rambler American, Opel GT and Cadets etc. NO Pony Cars, Muscle Cars, Super Stock Ect. All straight axle outlaw style car will be considered.” This will permit folks that have gasser style vehicles that do not meet the Nostalgia Gas requirements, an option to compete in this division.
Procedure Change
Last season we enforced weighing cars without drivers for class designation. Our research told us that this is the way things were done in the 50’s and 60’s. It made sense to us as well. What we did not account for was the fact that almost ever competitor has a large engine! We in effect had 2 major classes and one smaller class. NHRA changed to weighing car and driver in the 70’s. We have decided that there are a couple reasons we will switch to cars will be weighed with driver as raced. This change should open the classes for a better product for our fans. This change will also level the playing field for drivers. This change does not apply for Heritage Gas.
Every year we consider constructive criticism/praise for how we do things around here. These changes are partially in due to you, our participants and fans! Thank you for being part of our events!
