DUMPSTERThis is where threads go to die. Old threads are moved here (and displayed in reverse order) before they're forever deleted. While they'll most likely not be moved out out of the dumpster -- those posted to will gain a short reprieve of a month or two. Obviously no threads are to be started in this forum.
Donations of any size will help to defray the enormous legal costs from a lawsuit filed against the administrator of OldHippie.com, by what many refer to as a "Copyright Troll" law firm, for the posting of a TSA "Pat Down" photo they had bought the copyright rights to, after the photo was posted on this site, and then removed.
I debated this long and hard, but I figured if I pull this off, eveybody will need to be in the loop already.
I'm currently working several corporate connections to have a six race series basically along the I-35 corridor from Oklahoma City to San Antonio. Six races. This in addition to the Houston NMCA event and the Mopars at the Motorplex.
The folks Im dealing with are local (Texas) and had been burned by the roundy round people already, so I'm having to give them assurances that their money WILL be accounted for (my responsibility) It would pay down sixteen places, pay much better than NMCA, and be a one day show. We'd use the current NSS rules, with some gray in places to draw some new participants (changable stuff).
That said, I need to be the one in charge. One thing that kills us is the ten Chiefs and no Braves in the tribe thing.
I WILL NOT MASSIVELY OVERHAUL THE CLASS. No smallblocks, no electronics, no 14 inch slicks, no wings and air dams, you guys know me.
If this comes about, all I need is for everbody to show up, race, party and have a good time. If we put on a good show, we'll be successful, if you beat me to death with nickel and dime crap, we can all go back to travelling 2000 miles to be a little fish in someone else's big pond.
You guys know me and my passion for these cars, I will not let you down. Besides, I checked: it's against the law to kill me........

Revenue Banners To Assist With Expenses, Including Legal Settlement. Clicking below banners generates pennies toward expenses.
If we get a minimum of six non-qualifiers we'll have a Chicago style runoff with the two closest winning indexes running for some money (I have an associate sponsor in the works for this).
If we have a minimum number of cars we'll put the associate money into a low qualifier/right on index sort of award.

Dallas and I will come to every race that doesn't conflict with the NMCA or Monster. We have to make every race (with the new points system) to have a chance at the ring.
I've taken the time to list all of the NMCA and the Monster at all three of the other sites -- and will list them here later. I need everyone else to kick in with listing the NSS events Clay pushes, the Texas deal, and this deal.
Absolutely BK. The whole thing is still all on paper right now.
The schedules would be a great help. I'm not gonna worry about conflicting with places like New York or California. The nice thing about Texas is that spring and early fall make for some great racing conditions, while it's still brutally cold in the Great White North. I'm eyeing already established events like Denton's 4th of July Party (they have jet cars!!) and Ardmore's (OK) nostalgia race in the late spring. I'll make every effort to work around NMCA stuff and I'd be foolish to go up against the Monster and the Kansas/Missouri tour Clay and the gang race in.
Doug, you'd be a superb addition to the circuit along with Daly. Two good looking Chevelles for the Bowtie crowd to cheer.
Mark, has Steve still got his red car?

I'd be an idiot not to lean the experience that you, BK, Damon, heck everybody would bring. But there has to be one final arbitrator.
