I was asked to email rules and proposed changes to
rules@ahra.com -- and the below is what I sent.

NSS/FX is a class with over 100 active racers east of the Rockies. The below rules had representatives from NMCA, Texas Outsiders, Midwest Nostalgia Super Stock Association, and National Nostalgia Super Stock association get together and come up with one set of rules that they would adopt – along with the rules adopted by tracks for their local Nostalgia events.
The negotiations were painful to all – as there was a lot of compromise done by long time and stubborn racers who felt like their organization was most true to original spirit of NSS. NSS got started about 1980 – and each organization (because of politics – often of letting a friend of a sponsor race) morphed the rules a little. Four years ago – we were running into too many problems with what cars should qualify – and who might have an advantage – so the below rules were a one-time compromise for the sake of standardization – and it was agreed that future rule changes would not only be kept to a minimum – but mainly for safety with moving away from the spirit of the class. We don’t want small blocks, Dominators, sheet metal intakes, Lencos, transbrakes, electronics, power adders, 12-14” wide slicks, Rack and pinion front ends, carb/motor changes from available with the car, or other changes away from the spirit – to allow one more person in.
The below rules will have well over 100 cars immediately qualify, those same cars racing other events under those rules – and not wanting to race when the spirit of the class is compromised.
Consider the class and the rules – and you will immediately have a full class of racers ready to come race this year. Assuming you get details out soon. Some of these racers have been racing NMCA http://www.fasteststreetcar.com/ , and they have already announced their 2010 schedule and all (none in the case of NSS/FX) rule changes.
I then inserted the rules from NSS Racing NMCA NSS Rules here

I'm fixin to be in the South Caribbean from Saturday to the 11th -- so that's about all I can do.
I'm getting the feeling that they might still be able to consider NSS/FX for this year as they haven't announced much of anything yet (rules, classes, point calculations, date for one of the tracks,...) , have added yet another track, -- so cross you fingers and maybe voice your support of NSS/FX in AHRA.
The love the races in Lousianna, Oklahoma, San Antoinio, and Ohio -- but I wonder how difficult bringing a transports the size of mine into Ontario. We all have passports, can leave the guns home, maybe find a place for the dogs, and we don't do drugs -- but I still can't imagine them not tearing my rig apart.
