took the old car there twice this year, but since the spring nostalgia race i've been trying to get my new car ready. all that is left is to put the new struts and a arms, once i get them the right length, on and get the front end aligned it should be ready to go. just hope I'm healed by then so I can drive.
oh by the way the new car is a 27 roadster.

As far as I know no delay boxes,dial in, 2 steps and electronic or air shifter ok. Would like to see 4 tenths pro tree index class but I will take what I can get.NDRL runs like the nhra heritage series index no boxes 4 tenths pro tree index

Just my 2 cents I feel that if the track should not let a racer be able to leave a delay box in the car period ! And tech should be looking for them especially if they run a full tree

I understand the "no delay boxes" but that's why Muscle Car Reunion added "Pro Nostalgia". It was basically Super Pro for the nostalgia cars. That way they guys with electronics that couldn't or wouldn't take them out had a class to run.

JMO, and please don't consider my opinion an insult but intake scoops and collector headers don't fit my definition of a "nostalgia" car.

The reason for the question about delay boxes is because a statement was made during the spring event saying delay boxes and cars as new as 1980 were going to be allowed during the fall event.
Spectator attendance is always bigger at nostalgia events because it's always been older cars and no electronics... if you allow electronics and newer model cars then all you have is a bracket race.

Well said Bob,Let the no box guys have a day to themselves,Its a good deal something for everybody that weekend run both days just put the box back in for Sunday.I do have to say when you look at the flier on the cid website its not clear about weather or not a person can have a box or not.Nqsa defiantly no box.For the 2 other classes there is not clarification weather you can have a box I think they need to make things clearer to the racers,on boxes or no boxes and pro or full tree
