The cars and stars of the Flowmaster NMCA Muscle Car Nationals Series have converged on the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Ga. this weekend for their second event of the season, where they’ll be joined by the NMRA and the LSX Shootout special event series for the NMRA/NMCA All Star Nationals.
NMCA Events
It’s time to kick off the 2012 LSX Challenge series with Round 1 from Bradenton, Florida. We’ll be bringing you the action all weekend long, so stay tuned!
It’s the first race of the year for the NMCA in 2012 as they move into Bradenton. This is a combination event ran in conjunction with the LSX Challenge series that we will be promoting on a separate coverage page. Check back all weekend for the new cars and action from Bradenton!
After the success of its first full season in 2011, the all LSX drag strip action of the Chevy Performance LSX Challenge Series is back in 2012 with yet another full season of four events. We have the dates and venues for all four events inside, so start making your plans to attend now!
For the first time ever, the NMRA and NMCA roll into Auto Club Dragway in Fontana California for their west coast event. While there won’t be many NMRA and NMCA east coast racers at this event, and it’s being ran under mainly PSCA rules, we look forward to a good race on this warm weekend.

Pelech Bros. Camaro Looks To Make a Come-back Before The Close of 2010

Late 2009 was one of the Pelech Bros. roughest racing tours to date, fighting a car with multiple electronics issues and the absence of traction made their NMCA finals everything but fun with their only high point being one clean 7.27 pass at Milan testing. For 2010, the Pelech Bros. are making a bunch of changes.
After crashing his 1969 Firebird in Milan’s All Motor class in August of 2008 Dave Theisen is headed back after getting the car repaired by Jim Powski Racecraft with some more power under the hood thanks to Chris Uratchko Racing. With the new setup David is looking for 8.40′s with a future eye on NMCA Pro Stock.
Kevin Parent Returns to Nostalgia Pro Street with Backing from Dart

on June 9, 2010
Last year Kevin Parent came off a strong year in Nostalgia Pro Street, though behind the scenes things weren’t going as well. Kevin was running on borrowed time with tired parts and he was just exhausted himself. In the off season Kevin had posted everything for sale and it was a bit of a shock with how well he did in 2009, though the given circumstances were understandable. When Dart Heads saw the car for sale, they immediately contacted Kevin.
Don Baskin has taken delivery of his new 2010 Camaro for NMCA Pro Stock competition and will test today and tomorrow before a possible debut next weekend at the NMCA Nationals in Reading, PA.
NMCA Pro Street and ADRL Pro Nitrous racer Joe Dunne recently completed a successful test session that included a 6.19 lap at Beech Bend Raceway Park before the rains almost literally consumed the track. Dunne and crew were testing a new prototype Pro Torque converter in their 860 cubic inch Pat Musi-powered Camaro.
Billy and Shannon Glidden are burning the midnight oil at their Whiteland, IN shop to get their 2010 Mustang with a new 528 cubic inch Sonny Leonard mill under the hood ready to head south to Bowling Green, KY for the NMCA event.
It is like clock work at the NMCA season opener in Bradenton. Every year, for the last 4-5 years, it has rained on Sunday. Nothing different this year, though trying to run and end the race at 1 am, the Promedia staff decided to run the race today. The weather looks very good for today with clear skies and a slight breeze from the south west.
