No Problem Raceway was the latest stop in the NMCA series. I ran the 11.50 EFI Eliminator class, which is an awesome class for all of us EFI cars. It is a .50 indexed bracket class running a .500 Pro Tree.

Here is a quick run down of some of my rounds.

Round 1: Put Madman out, or a guess I should say Madman basiclly gave me the round. His car was just not running the number that day.

Semi Final: Took out the series points leader with a .502 light 11.52 (back pedaling on the topend) to his 11.55.

Final Round: Took out 2002 Champ with a .540 light 11.508 to his 10.08 (on a 10.00 index).

All and all it was a great 3 days of racing and a buch of cool guys in that class. I hope to see more people supporting this series and especially the EFI class. The only bad part of the weekend for me is that I didn't join the NMCA and run the contingency stickers. That would have getten me an extra $1000-1500 in my pocket.

Oh I did want to say thanks to Angie and Geoff for the Loan-A-Car, again.

Congrats Paul. It's good to see some F-bod guys running in the NMCA. Wish they had an event closer to me, so I could get in on the action.

Congratulations Paul!

Do you know what Madman ran Saturday night in the quick 8 shootout? I know he faced Merkel for the final and got runner up but thats all the update said on the NMCA page.

Thanks.

I can't remember the exact numbers but the car was off all weekend. I know he was having some serious electrical problems but he can chime in on the specifics.

Oh BTW Madman if you are reading, you ran off with Tim's battery.

Guido

Either way, at least there was some of the stock suspenion crew out supporting heads up racing! Always good to hear.

Sounds like I wasnt the only one with problems at the track this weekend. LOL

Paul,
Congrats on the win. Your driving was impeccable. I was hoping to do a little better, but got beat by a better driver in the second round...Todd Merkel cut an .006 light against my .09.

Guido,
Madman spun against Todd Sat. night...If he could have hooked it...it would have been a fast pass.

There were 4 of us out there in Stock susp. 4th gens. I wasn't a factor because of probems but Frank95Z and Paul did give em hell. Maybe next year(or the next race we make) I will be able to get my car right and put up a descent fight

I think madman spun bad to a 10.0 at 140 or something like that. I know he was fighting problems all weekend on his new setup. When he gets it dialed in its gonna be super fast. Tod ran a 9.3x at 149 against him taking the win for the EFI quick 8.

Congrats Paul. I'm used to bracket racing, but I ran EFI when the NMCA came to Moroso in Florida last February. Was a blast, except for 2 days of rain, and after winning 1st round at 4 pm, waiting until 9:30 pm to see pat musi crash and they postponed the race! Was an interesting break from the usual bracket racing, and I could actually 530 lights deep staged on the pro tree!
Either way, nice job taking out the champ!
