The NMRA & NMCA are coming to the Auto Club Speedway! July 8-10

NMCA

1 The NMRA & NMCA are coming to the Auto Club Speedway! July 8 10

For the first time ever the NMRA & NMCA will produce a West Coast event that showcases what our series have to offer. This event will feature West Coast race cars and classes that will follow 2011 PSCA class rules.

Because of recent noise restrictions imposed upon the track, NMRA/NMCA will not be able to run Pro Street and Outlaw 10.5, classes previously planned, however the rest of the classes can all run as long as all competitors have mufflers on their vehicles for the entirety of the event. Every car that enters into the event will be required to have mufflers or collector mufflers (inserts are not acceptable) to pass NMRA/NMCA tech. This is a zero-tolerance policy that will be in effect. If your car exceeds the max decibel reading (under 105DB at 50ft) you will be shutoff and not be able to compete.

The NMCA & NMRA will converge for the Inaugural JE Pistons NMRA/NMCA West Coast Shootout, presented by Lucas Oil, at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. The NMCA Flowmaster Muscle Car Nationals and the NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals will showcase all the cars and all the stars from the West Coast street legal drag racing scene and show these racers what NMRA & NMCA have to offer! There will be two separate car shows, an autocross, a special Racers Against Street Racing True Street Challenge, a massive vendor midway, and let’s not forget the “Legendary Burnout Contest”. So don’t miss your chance to experience what will prove to be one of the biggest muscle car events of the season.

Drag Race Your Street Car in an Entry Level Class

Have you ever wanted to drag race? Imagine racing your street car on one of the best drag strips in the USA! NMCA and NMRA have a whole bunch of entry level classes designed just for you. True Street is a class where all street cars (licensed, tagged, insured, registered, and able to make a 30-mile cruise) made 3 back-to-back passes with the closest 3-pass averages to 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15-seconds each win $100 and a bonus prize. The king of True Street will be the overall fastest average, will win $250 plus VIP weekend Nascar passes. Classes also available will be Open Comp, Mustang Madness, Bracket I and Street Muscle.

Attack the Corners at the NMRA/NMCA Autocross & Hit the Binders in the Speed-Stop-Challenge!

Why try autocross? Imagine standing on the throttle, then pushing on the brakes to maximum, and then turning the steering wheel hard to make the corner. Now think about doing this in a friendly, safe, no pressure environment. This is autocross, and yes, it is fun! In years past, attending a car show meant driving to the show, finding a nice parking place, unfolding the lawn chairs and pulling out the build book. While a static car show can still be enjoyable, getting behind the wheel and pushing your favorite project car/ truck to the limit is thrilling. Hotchkis Sport Suspension is sponsoring the autocross and everyone is welcome. Pre-registration is required your ticket will also include the Baer Brake Systems Speed-Stop-Challenge. For Autocross information call 866-942-3603. Pre-registration is requested for the Autocross & Speed-Stop-Challenge. It’s free and easy to pre-register…simply click this link: http://hotchkis.net/request/form/

Special Items & Prizes for Autocross & Speed Stop Competitors:

Second driver is free (must have 1-day or 2-day entry ticket)
Baer 10% off MAP price coupon to each competitor
Baer free brake system (front or rear) for “most entertaining stop” in the Speed-Stop Challenge
Baer $1,000 discount certificate on a complete front and rear brake system to the overall winner of the Speed-Stop-Challenge.
Raffle for $100 NMRA/NMCA shopping spree Sat & Sun
Free bottles of water for drivers (while supplies last).

4 The NMRA & NMCA are coming to the Auto Club Speedway! July 8 10

The Baer Brake Systems Speed-Stop-Challenge combines the adrenaline rush of a drag racing style launch and then tests your depth perception and threshold braking skill 600-feet later when you must stop completely within a 20-foot wide and 40-foot deep “stop box”. The shortest elapsed time from dead stop to the car at rest completely within the stop box is the winner. Accelerate from the start as far as your judgment tells you that you can go and still bring your car to a safe and straight stop within the stop box. Easy! Right? Line `em up and give it a try! Pre-registration is required for the Baer Speed-Stop-Challenge and your ticket will also include the Hotchkis Sport Suspension autocross. For Speed Stop Challenge information call (602) 233-1411.

2011 Hot Rod Power Tour… A Success

Friday, June 17th, 2011

60 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour... A Success

The 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour Was a great success.  If you are not familiar with the Hot Rod Power Tour, here is a brief description provided by (http://www.hotrod.com)

“For the 17th consecutive year, the HOT ROD Power Tour returns. This rolling tribute to the performance car is the ultimate gearhead roadtrip. With seven days in seven cities, we kickoff June 4th and spend the next week driving and bench racing through the south on our way to The Motor City.”

Each stop on this years tour saw increased traffic and enthusiasm for Edelbrock Performance Products as well as the hot rodding hobby in general.   It was great to meet so many amazing cars, new faces and to see many enthusiast from past tours as well.

We gave out a few copies of the Edelbrock book “Made in USA” and countless hats and posters. Participants were also able to register at each stop of the tour for a chance to win an Edelbrock “Top End Kit” which would be given away at the last stop to a very lucky Power Tour participant.

This years tour was also really special because we were able to raise some money for a great cause. On the final stop Edelbrock teamed up with fellow Hot Rod Power Tour fans and “long haulers” to raise over $1500 for the “Susan G. Komen for the Cure” which strives to raise awareness for breast cancer and eradicate breast cancer forever. Christi Edelbrock put it this way. “Giving back is very important to everyone here at Edelbrock and we appreciate the support and generosity of our fellow hot rodding enthusiasts and fans. Thank you for your help and continued support for such a great cause. God Bless.”

Here is a list of the Edelbrock Power tour Vehicles.

1. 2011 Hendrick Camaro Driven by Christi Edelbrock
2. 2006 Corvette (E-Force Supercharged) driven by Vic Edelbrock Jr.
3. 1957 Chevy Bel Air (383 crate motor) built by Posies driven by Troy Hooker
