    Im getting an early start this year. Above are the class rules. Look them over and let me know any questions or proposed changes here. I have already started collecting sponsorship monies and having some luck. I hope to keep the car count growing. Who knows the future of the Nationals, so if you have ever thought about running this class 2015 would be a great start.

    We had a very nice car count last year and excellent payouts and competition, so come on out and join the fun.

    Jim, Thanks for all of your work with BSA. I hope to participate again in 2015 but if I can't run for some reason I'll support the class in some other way.

    I've run this class for many years now and I've never won a single round. Despite being beat by every car that has ever lined up next to me in round one, I've always had a great time. A great group of guys run in BSA and I encourage anyone with a car that fits into the class to give it a try.

    Jim can confirm but yes, if it's painted red it's allowed.

    Beamer Suncoupes Rule !!!

    That's is GREAT to hear !


    I agree with Gary that this class has such a high class of participants involved with it. We have cars as slow as 17 seconds to 10 second cars. It is a great time and the friendships are phenomenal among the competitors.


    I hope to see the largest class in the field in 2015 ! ! !

    I really hate to hear that. It will not be the same without you. I hope all is well and that your not being able to make it is due to logistics only. Your participation will be missed.
