Default 7.79 run Hardcores Ronnie Duke got no mention about this

I was watching the NMCA race from Bowling Green from back in May last night and saw Ronnie Duke in the Blue Formula Vert run 7.79 @ 180.74 and did a killer wheelie off the line but was very late at the tree and lost to a Mustang.

P.S. on a side note in the very next race on the NMCA video Dan Millen lost to a Grand Am

Impressive, but too bad they are running a class that is running 6.90s-7.0s in good air on a 10.5 tire with Billy Glidden leading the points. So 7.79 is usually fodder in that class.

Hardcore runs that car in Heavy Street at the World Street Nats at OSW and the US Street Nats at BMP, maybe NMCA doesn`t have a class similar to Heavy Street. The fast cars in Heavy are running mid 7s so Ronnie should be competitive in Oct at OSW.

If you go on fasteststreetcar.com ( which is the NMCA site ) and click on NMCA TV on the right side of the page. Then go to the Bowling Green event, Ronnie Dukes car is in the 3rd race in Super Street on the 1st RD Elims tab and Dan Millen runs right after that.

He's 7 tenths and 30 mph off pace of the big dogs. 7.79 @ 180mph gets no love
in that class at all.

I watched a guy testing and tuneing at the track I work at make 3 6.90 passes. And none of them were all out passes. It was a guy named Char Morgan. Anyone heard of him?

Yep, that's the one. Nothing special on the outside, but it's a nicely put together piece underneath.

Caveman,
The NMCA version of heavy street is Nostalgia Pro Street, as it's geared more towards the older pro street of the 90's with back-half cars, but the only power adder allowed is spray.

BLK85,
Chad Morgan ran a blown Camaro last year in Pro Street in NMCA I believe.

Congrats to Ronnie on his time. I've seen his name in some of the NSCA races too. He finished 3rd at Morocco last weekend with a 7.75 (7.51 took the win).

I see, so for Ronnie to run his car at NMCA events he has to run the faster cars.

Yep, unfortunately that's the only class his car fits in I believe (besides pro street, which would be bringing a butter knife to a machine gun fight)

Just to add to the splendor:

There's a 4-page spread on Ronnie's car in the latest issue of FSC (Fastest Street Car).
