The after-hours Grudge Nights will be held at the conclusion of the regularly scheduled NMRA competitions. Tentatively scheduled at each event with “no time” time trials at 5:30pm and grudge racing at 7:00pm, the grudge night races are open to any Ford-bodied vehicles (any powerplant permitted). The open track format allows competitors to set up grudge runs that night, so racers can show up and call out their friends. Big money, small money, or just pride will be the reward for the one who ignites the win light!
All grudge races feature no time, no scoreboards and no time slips… only the win light at the end of the track will determine the winner of each heads-up race. Every competition will be contested using the .400 Pro Tree with red light starts counting as an immediate and official disqualification. All other grudge night rules apply such as the “First or Worst” rule. With NMRA’s official starter, TJ “El Prepe” Bailey, providing his outstanding track prep skills, racers will have excellent racing conditions and fans will be treated to an exciting all-Ford Grudge Night!
Entry fees are as follows – No NMRA membership required:
Saturday $75.00
Friday – Saturday $125.00 (includes test & tune, no time Friday)
Thursday – Saturday $175.00 (includes test & tune, no time Thursday & Friday)
NMRA racecars entered in a championship heads up category (SO, REN, CM, PS, CS, FS) are prohibited from participation in the Grudge Night (these competitors may enter a car that is not competing in one of these classes). Participants with cars entered in OC, SST, MM, TR, Ford Muscle, True Street, Turbo Coyote Shootout or Terminator/GT500 Shootout classes are permitted to enter the same car in the Grudge Night.
