What We're About Nostalgia Drag Racers is a forum primarily for the Nostalgia Drag Racers to hang with. The first category of forums sections off Nostalgia Drag Racing by Class. The next set of forums is for those racing Nostalgia cars -- but not by the Nostalgia rules. (See the forums for posts that better define the class rules) The final category of forums has nothing to do with drag racing -- but with other nostalgia topics. Often the same people interested in Nostalgia Drag Racing -- are also interested in other topics from the good old days. While its true that this category might attract members who could care less about Nostalgia Drag Racing -- the beauty of this board is that the categories groups the forums to where members can discuss the Nostalgia topics that interest them -- and never know that forums that don't interest them even exist. This is a brand new Board, and it is going to take a little patience watching it grow into a very active board -- but you can help. I ask you to become a member of the board if it interests you -- and to post as often as you have something useful to say. Have a little patience. As the search engines index the site -- more and more people will come, and some of them will join in. Check the forum often, and don't be discouraged as we just now are starting to grow. With your continued participation -- we'll get there. Tell you friends of the site. The best way to grow a board like this -- is by word of mouth, so copy the link to this site, and email it to friends who might be interested in the site, asking them to do the same. Facebook is a great place to increase the traffic here -- by linking the most interesting posts from here -- to over there.

A Couple of Simple Rules
Spammers will not be tolerated -- and their banning here will affect their access on other Pro-Boards. Fact is that spammers will see absolutely no benefit for the short time their post is on the site.
No flaming. Race smack is OK, but we're looking for a place where most all of the members are friendly to each other -- rather than a clique of a few arrogant members talking down to the rest of the members. Fact is that there are plenty of sites for assholes to hang out at -- and we'll remind any assholes of that fact -- should they appear. Treat members as you wish to be treated.
DON'T SHOUT. All uppercaps posts are hard to read. Please use the upper and lower alphabet as they were intended to be used.
Try your best to use proper punctuation, and paragraphing. It will make your posts easier to read and respond to.
Try to not take a discussion off of its topic. Instead start a new thread.
Do not PM the ADMIN or moderators with questions best asked in a particular forum. Asking and answering in the forums benefits others with the same question -- and keeps the admin/mods from wasting time repeating themselves.
If you know the answer to a question - please roll the person posting a bone by answering it.
The Admin doesn't want to get caught up with running this forum with a heavy hand. Please police yourself.
You, and not the admin, are responsible for your posts. Use care not to liable yourself, by thinking before speaking/posting.

Moderators Wanted Ultimately, there will be at least one moderator per forum, and two global moderators. No one will be asked to moderate until it has been observed that a prospective moderator visits one of the forums daily, participates in getting and keeping the ball rolling for that forum, refers others to that forum -- and demonstrates a friendliness that earns him respect from others that visit that forum. The administrator takes the appointment of a moderator very seriously, and as such will not make the offer until he is thoroughly convinced that he's offering it to the right person. If you wish to become a moderator of a certain board -- then adopt that board as a board you will be proactive in helping grow. Your actions will not go unnoticed.

We Love Photos All members have the ability to upload applicable photos from their computer to a post -- using the Attachment feature when they start or reply to a post. So don't be bashful posting those photos.

My ride is a 60's vintage built from Texas. When it was born it ran AA/Gas with a 392 Hemi. I am the 4 th owner and have tamed it down with a sbc. Best run was a 9.39
