  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

True Street NMCA style Class for all Buicks

    A couple of us have been running this class lately and wondered why can't we have one in Bowling Green. There are a lot of pros about going to something that makes sense and you don't have to set up a car to run all that different type events each time. You basically run anything as long it is a true legal car that makes a 30 mile cruise and returns to the lanes and make 3 consecutive passes. You run the clock not your opponent. It is set up with indexes 7's,8's,9's 10' up to 15 second class. An average of the 3 passes closes to the index wins that index. It is a lot of fun and defines a real street car vs a racecar. I have been asked to ask you guys on your thoughts! So here I am asking what the possibilities to consider this.

    I think its a great idea the problem is finding someone willing to take the time to organize and run it. I wont be in a position to participate in this at the moment but if it became a regular deal every year I would definitely get involved. Also you might want to consider posting this on the bench if you don't seem to be getting many responses,I'm not sure how many people keep tabs on the events forum. Good luck.

    I think its a great idea:eek2: and very competitive, and since its index racing, it allows nearly anyone the opportunity to race and WIN. Its a blast to run a 30 mile drive and make 3 consecutive passes without touching the car except for tire pressure, and is designed for real street cars, without slicks. I would be happy to assist with this class and would enjoy seeing this a success. It's quiet simple, as we could follow NMCA Rules and classes, and I have had experience and won along with another GN that won his class last year at our local event.
    Just my thoughts!
