Brings a new class structure and some new classes to New England    Dragway produced Nostalgia events. With input from the clubs that present our events, the  goal was to align the class structure to mirror some of the classes run at the NHRA Hot Rod  Reunion race on August 28-30, 2015 in order to make an easier transition to compete in all    events under the same class structure.

The following is an outline of the new class structure. All NHRA and New England Dragway safety rules and required safety equipment apply.

We are sitting in the parking lot, they are running tuners down the track.

There are a number of motor homes staged here already to get in in the morning

Good job, wish I could cut those lights.
Mine look more like something Ray Charles would do.

As of Friday night both Glenn and Bill were running great. Glenn was within .01 of his index and Bill was within .05. Best of luck to both in today's eliminations!
