NMCA Digital News -------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Annual JE Pistons NMCA Muscle Car NationalsDate: Friday, August 15  2nd Annual JE Pistons NMCA Muscle Car Nationals Presented by Keystone Automotive Milan, Michigan August 22-24, 2008 Milan Dragway  The NMCA returns to Milan Dragway for the Second Annual JE Pistons Muscle Car Nationals August 22-24. Last years event was shaping up to be a real slugfest among several Midwest racers who joined NMCA regulars for the only Michigan stop of the Edelbrock Drag Racing Series. The track yielded great numbers during qualifying but eliminations were cancelled due to rain, which ended up soaking the region for more than a week. Judging from last year’s turnout this year’s race has the makings of something special for both drivers and fans alike. Included again in this year’s program will be the Flowmaster Shootout featuring the top 2007 points earners of Nostalgia Pro Street racing each other for their share of a $4,500 purse in a special eliminator held within qualifying rounds. Action begins Friday evening with a test session beginning at 3 p.m. followed by a qualifying session beginning at 7:00.

Date: Sunday, July 20  Spectacular racing and record crowds helped solidify the Motive Gear NMCA/NMRA Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing presented by Nitto Tire as the nation’s largest gathering of heads-up racers. Highlighted by the NMCA’s annihilation of the NMRA in the “Super Bowl” runoff, winning by a margin of eight to three, this year’s event was by far the most competitive of the series’ previous two events held at RT 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill.  In the NMCA portion of the event, Mark Micke continued his domination of Scorpion Performance Pro Street with a win over Tony Bischoff after taking a 6.41 to 6.40 holeshot win. In Nitto Tire Super Street 10.5 W Tony Nesbitt stopped Spiro Pappas for his first win in the class by a 7.01 to 7.04 margin. Jeff Colletta put another tick in the win column for 2008 after overcoming some tough competition, eventually stopping Kevin Parent in a 7.57 to 7.63 affair. In Vortech Superchargers Extreme Street, Tony Orts, who has not raced in the class since last season used a near tenth of a second holeshot to grab the win in a 8.26 to 8.20 race. Andy Schmidt stopped Mike DeMayo for his second in of the year in Comp Cams Pro stock with a 8.71 to 8.73 winning pass. In Car Craft Street Race, Tim Hendricks, who has battled his combination for the past three seasons, finally received the payoff for his undying efforts, when he beat John Macaluso in a 9.02 to 9.00 holeshot win. Don Baskin was another racer who has invested a great deal of time to sort out the combo in his Mustang. He too received the payoff after beating Jeff Swanson in BFGoodrich Tires Mean Street.
