    EVENT PREVIEW

    The 2008 season will start out with a blast down in the Sunshine State. With Spring Break winding down, and the summer not too far away, the NMCA will launch the season in style at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Once again, we’ll start off the weekend with a wild Hooters Pre-Race Party at the Hooters of Bradenton. The Black Mustang club out of Royal Palm Beach will be hosting the car show, so you can be sure to see some immaculate muscle cars cruising around. This year we’ll also be running the Open Outlaw Exhibition class. This class will blow you away with anything from funny cars to rear engine dragsters competing for $3400 in prize money!

    The 6th Annual Ross Pistons NMCA Hot Rod & Muscle Car Nationals boasts one of the season’s largest heads-up NMCA Edelbrock Drag Race, NMCA Auto Show & Shine, swap meet and vendor midway. And be sure to check out the awesome Burnout Contest. Join us in Bradenton for the official kick-off to history’s fastest street legal drag racing season yet, the 2008 NMCA Edelbrock Hot Rod & Muscle Car Nationals!

    It's not NY but we do have an event in Atco, NJ. Kooks Custom Headers is sponsoring a late model shoot out June 6-8. Check out the details at nmcadigital.com This should be a great event for the NMCA!

    HHP will be there as our own Bruce Maichle (HHP's shop manager) defends his 2007 NMCA Pro Stock Championship. Plus we'll we running the Late Model EFI class with a temporary HEMI car while we hope to have our Challenger debuting at the second NMCA race in Bowling Green, Kentucky the first weekend of May.

    These events are a blast and I'll check with Mr. Harmon at NMCA for final clarification (unless Lisa beats me to it), but racing participants who come from the forums will have some fee's waived for their first NMCA race they participate in. Who can pass up 3 days of racing and an awesome car show! Think about how much fun you're going to have, then multiply that by 10 and that's NMCA.

    Great work on the show, BMC!

    Joshua, HHP

    Come on Sunday! Sunday is the day they are doing the special Mopar Awards, and that will also be the Finals day for all the Drag Classes.
    It isnt a bad drive, we just did it two weeks ago.

    I was thinking about Sunday but that is the party at Blondie's.

    Road trips don't bother me.... I went to Gainesville for the Gators last weekend.

    What happens on Friday?

    Friday is drag racing only, nothing for the car show. There is a car show Saturday and Sunday, with Sunday being the day for the new Mopar classes/awards.

    I'm bummed to miss the party at Blondie's too. We're probably a mile away and I missed the last one as well.

    Well Friday sounds like the day for me. I'd rather watch cars run down the track then look pretty. :bigwink:

    We drove over to Bradenton today for the NMCA event this weekend, and went to the track this afternoon to get the trailer parked and put together the goodie bags for the car show tomorrow. For more information on the event, click here: http://www.bmcforums.com/showthread.php?t=43410

    We have a special parking area for the BMC cars in the car show, so if you are nearby, you should definitely come to the show tomorrow and Sunday! There are a ton of awesome race cars and the show parking is so close to the track you can enjoy both all weekend! All the fastest and hottest looking Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Challengers, Chargers, GTOs, trucks, etc. are here!

    Here are a few pics Lisa snapped this afternoon.
