I have been put off by how complicated and little seat time you get in NHRA racing nowadays especially with a slower street friendly set up (11.50 to 12.00 ET)

Then I came across the Nostalgia Drag Racing League (NDRL) and one specific class is tempting , Modified Production, while it does not have much to do with the good ole days of NHRA ME and MP of the 70s , I really like the rules , Anyonehas experience with these guys?


MODIFIED PRODUCTION
Class Rules:
1 Must be Super Stock and Modified Eliminator cars representative of the 60s and 70s.
2 Manual transmissions ONLY and MUST LAUNCH WITH THE CLUTCH by the driver.
3 No delay boxes, No pedal magnets, No air or electric shifters.
4 Two step rev limiters allowed.
5 Safety rules per NHRA ET/MPH requirements.
6 Race on an index format with ladder based on qualifying. All bye runs are given to lowest
7 qualifier. Bye run is kept until used then next bye run determined by best reaction time.
8 Class designation and ET (must be on TECH CARD and WINDOWS prior to first qualifying run.)

Took my 63 Tempest 421sd to a Nostalgia Super Stock race in Wis. couple years back. They had a 4 speed class on Fri. night. Really drew a big crowd of spectators. Kool.

I like the fact that all cars running modified production have to be manual. NDLR rules are simple and very inclusive if you dont mind leaving your eletronics at home.

Compared to stock or ss class racing which is very strict with component you can run. i think I could run the slower indexes in NDLR and not get bankrupt...even drive the car to the events.
