RACE POSTING: 2016 NTRA FALL NATIONALS

I second that......well said Al!

Ditto on what Al said.
If you want to get rid of me start implementing strict body rules. The only rules at my races will be plastic/resin bodies only and that does not apply to Unlimiteds. I would suggest drag style bodies but that is as far as I would go. I had many a street looking car in my day that would surely hold their own against a car that looked like it belonged on the strip.
I really enjoy the racing, making the cars go fast and holding the races which is a ton of work. If someone wants to highly detail their body or go with a certain class look that's fine but don't try to put that on everybody. Go for the best appearing award if there is one and it looks like there will be one at my race if there is enough interest.

Thanks for the suggestion Scott. Most of the Pro Stock class participants are new to the class and I think just about everyone that was competing besides yourself wasn't around when body rules were a major topic. One thing that is a put off is having to read a page of rules just to see if your body is legal. New NTRA rules are coming out for 2017 that will be easy to interpret and not as strict as they were before. Some classes will have a minimum weight rule so that detailers don't have a disadvantage by making their cars heavier with the addition of scoops etc...

I like period correct bodies and don't want to discourage anyone from detailing their favorite body however period correct hood scoops can be hard to come by.  I personally will make hood scoops, parachutes and wings available for just the cost of shipping ($3 first class USPS) for anyone interested in participating at anyone of our events, just send me a message here on Nitro Slots.

That's a very generous offer to provide free scoops etc to fellow racers.  Adding scoops to custom cars sounds like fun.  I may have to take you up on the offer,  when I place an order for bodies.
