Hi!

I am going to be running my 1970 Super Bee for the first time in the NMC class (H/NMC - 14.00 index specifcally) at the Bradenton race. But I need some clarity on 2 rules in the NMC class dealing with ignition and Wheel/Tires.

I hope I am posting this in the right area if not could someone direct me to who I post these rule questions to?

Anyway my questions are as follows

First with the ignition rule.. The rules states..

8.3 IGNITION
IGNITION: Ignition systems limited to the following: OEM, Holley “HP” Annihilator, MSD 6 & 7 Series, Mallory HyFire 3RL1, Accel Blueprint & 300+, Crane Fireball HI-6, and Pertronix Flame Thrower.....

My question is there any problem with running a mopar electronic ignition with a pertronix flamethrower coil?

My second question is with the tires and wheels rules

The rule state

5.1 TIRES
TIRES - FRONT: Front tires must have a minimum tread width of 4.5 inches.
TIRES – REAR: Street type or drag slicks required. Maximum actual measured tire size is as
follows: Actual measured tread of tire is limited to 11.5 inches. Tire width will be measured after
conclusion of run at scale area. Outside of rear tire must be within 3.5” of the inside of the fender
at widest point. Tire tread may not extend outside fenders.
5.2 WHEELS
WHEELS: Spindle-mount front wheels prohibited.

My question is I have a set of Cragar S/S's mounted on a set of Pro-Trac front runners (4.5 inch tread width) and on the rear a set of M&H G60-15 Muscle Car street slicks (8 inch tread width) Is there any problem running these?

Here are pictures of the car with the wheels and tires mounted

There are others that can say for sure, but I think I can help you here...

The ignition rule, I believe, is set to keep the MSD digital type units out..... Thus a stock type factory unit should be A-OK.

Tire size is shown as the max size (min front, but anyway) I can't see them having a problem with you on a 8" street tire.....


BTW- Nice Ride!! and this comes from a Chevy guy.... :D

Your ignition and tire questions are far from trivial, and in both cases, you can use what is installed on the car.

Rick,

I am in Rockledge Fla. Which is about 20 miles south of Cape Canaveral and just north of Melbourne on the East Coast.

Ok, Thanks! I just wondered if you were around here. I live in Parrish which isn't too far from the track. By the way, Nice Super bee you have there. I saw it Sat.
