10th Annual NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals Presented by MAHLE Motorsport
It’s going to get really busy soon as racers from the NMCA and NMRA gather at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Ga., 
for the 10th Annual NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals presented by MAHLE Motorsport. With 23 NMCA and NMRA classes plus True Street, there will be a plate full of racing for anyone, regardless of taste. Racing isn’t the only item on the menu April 5-8. Action begins Thursday, April 5th with a special test session for all racers, followed by qualifying Friday and Saturday with eliminations starting Saturday afternoon.
As always, the NMRA/NMCA All-Star Nationals features one of the largest car shows of the year as all owners of GM, Ford and Mopar brands come together in one venue to display their rides not only to the judges, but to fans as well. The event is topped off with a huge manufacturers’ midway, which this year features many vendors of high-performance gear. If you’re searching for the latest in performance aftermarket goodies for your muscle car, you’ll have plenty to look at in Commerce.
For the Chevy purist, this race will also feature the Chevrolet Performance Challenge Series; where racers who choose to run the LS or modern LT engine, get the chance to race each other in three exciting classes.

All the Stars and All the Cars of both NMRA & NMCA!
With the first race of the young season now in the books, the NMRA and NMCA move to Commerce, Georgia’s 
Atlanta Dragway for the 10th Annual NMRA NMCA All-Star Nationals presented by MAHLE Motorsport on April 5-8.
This second event of the season for both organizations combines the power of the Keystone Automotive All Ford Drag Racing Series with the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals presented by E3 Spark Plugs to create one of the largest heads-up races of the year – featuring the nation’s quickest and fastest doorslammers at the same venue.
The uniqueness of this event is obvious as racers from the NMCA and NMRA share the stage at Atlanta Dragway, offering fans a chance to see more than a dozen heads- up classes do battle in both the eighth and quarter-mile distances.
Last year’s race saw some of the wildest action of the season highlighted by huge numbers up on the scoreboards from both NMRA and NMCA racers.
Race Wrap – 24th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA Spring Break Shootout presented by Steeda
The 2018 NMRA Drag Racing season, presented by Keystone Automotive, debuted with beautiful weather, 
thousands of spectators, and all of the hot, record-breaking racing that one could want. QA1 True Street took center stage at Bradenton Motorsports Park this weekend, with a record 152 cars entering True Street. At the conclusion of the hotly contested, 16-car eliminator that is the JLT Performance Spring Break Shootout, True Street winner Randy Seward doubled up his wins by successfully defeating True Street runner up Jeff Bloem with an 8.80 to Bloem’s 9.48 elapsed time.
The quickest cars on the property belong to the VP Racing Fuels Street Outlaw class, and we saw Andy Manson, Charlie Cooper, and 2017 class champion Manny Buginga all laying down staggeringly quick times. Manson took the pole and would charge into the final against Buginga, who gave it his best shot by leaving first, but was passed by Manson who took the win with a 4.31 to Buginga’s off-pace 4.78.
In Edelbrock Renegade competition, it was Bart Tobener who took the trip to the Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle after Frank Varela tripped his red light at the start of the final round. Tobener had qualified his Coyote-powered S550 Mustang at the top of the list with a 7.33 elapsed time.

NMRA Spring Break Shootout presented by Steeda Autosports will be jammed with wall-to-wall action as the World’s Fastest Fords descend upon the Gulf Coast of Florida.

While the end of this season is still months away, it’s this race which sets the pace of the rest of the year, so while shaking off the winter doldrums may be on some racers minds, there are also championship runs to be considered. Whoever ends up in the Aerospace Components Winners’ Circle on Sunday, will get that out-of-the-gate boost needed to chase this year’s class title.

That’s a Wrap at the 19th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA All-Ford World Finals
Santa Ana CA – That’s all she wrote for the 2017 NMRA Keystone Automotive drag racing series! The action has 
officially concluded after a great weekend of racing and records at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The forecast early on promised perfect weather, and Mother Nature didn’t disappoint. Awesome conditions combined with the hope of winning a championship had every racer on the property pushing for new personal bests.
After a hurried, late-night last-minute engine swap, Manny Buginga of Bridgewater, Massachusetts rallied to take the number one qualifying position in VP Racing Fuels Street Outlaw when he ran 4.342 at 172.06 mph with his Turbonetics turbocharged, MJM Construction Corp ’03 Mustang. Then, in eliminations, he pulled up alongside crewman and teammate Rich Bruder. It was a tight race, and although Bruder got to the finish first, Buginga was still happy with the results as the supercharged Fox-body Mustang Bruder was driving belonged to Buginga himself.
19th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA All-Ford World Finals
For almost two decades the Nitto Tire NMRA All-Ford World Finals has forged itself into the history of Beech Bend 
Raceway – something that isn’t easy to do considering the history attached to the track. Yet, every Ford drag racing enthusiast knows exactly what happens at the end of September and early October each year in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Simply put, it’s the Finals — one of drag racing’s great events where legends are born and championships won. There is only one NMRA and there is only one Beech Bend Raceway, and this year the two will once again join forces September 28th-October 1st to write the 19th chapter of NMRA history.
What helps make the World Finals a true spectacle is the combination of the regular NMRA classes, along with the huge assortment of other special classes and events, and this year the NMRA has added even more!
