The NMRA has decided to add a new class in 2008 for S197 2005-up Mustangs in conjunction with JDM Engineering's support - JDM "Super Stang". This class will be run at every event remaining in the schedule with the exception of the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl event in Joliet.
• Detroit, Michigan June 13-15
• Atco, New Jersey August 8-10
• Columbus, Ohio, August 29-31
• Bowling Green, Oct 2-5
Super Stang will be a declared index-style class only open to the new body style. The NMRA has done the hard work with the contingency sponsors, the Super Stang
will be eligible for some contingency monies for winner's and runners up, as well as a World Champion crowned at the end of the year!
JDM Super Stang Purse:
Winner: $500
Runner-Up: $250
Semis: $75
Quarters: $30
Here's a quick overview of the rules, which you can view in
complete form on the NMRA web site. The only thing we found difficult to enforce will be the no rental car rules. Since V6s are permitted, how will this be enforced?
