I'm certainly a Dwight fan!!
Catered to a mustang? I'm not sure about that. I think by the time NMCA came out with class, there was still a lot of mustangs out there in NMRA.
NMCA have the best rules I have seen to create parity between many different types of cars and engine combinations. A lot of other organizations with "more simple" rules are now facing the issue with loopholes and starting the rethink their ideas.

That has been tried before. Don't think it ever worked in NMCA P/S? Nostalgia weight break for a 70 Chevelle would have to be different than for a 1969 MG.
I believe the car's suspension and setup show more of the ET, but the MPH can be sometimes be 2 or 3.

Another 50 for Pontiac? I'm a Pontiac fan but they already have 150 off the BBC and came in 2nd place this past year?
