Free True Street Entry

For All LSX Rumble and 5th Gen Camaro Class Racers

…The Ultimate Street Car Class for the Beginner or Seasoned Racer

NMCA now gives you a BIG reason to race in in our LSX Rumble or 5th Gen Camaro Challenge classes…a free entry into Saturday’s TREMEC True Street class! Whether it’s your first time racing or you have lots of ¼ mile experience, True Street is your class. True Street is designed for “true” street cars that are licensed, insured and capable of driving a good distance on the street. After a 30-mile escorted cruise, make 3 back-to-back passes and see if you will take home some cash and a prize!

Here’s How True Street Works:

1. Purchase your LSX Rumble or 5th Gen Camaro race entry at the racer gate and then park in the pit area. True Street is a Saturday race but you can purchase your entry on Friday as well.
2. You first register at the NMCA registration trailer and then proceed to LSX tech to have your vehicle inspected.
3. You will get a time run prior to the True Street competition so you can see how your car is performing.
4. Attend the 11:30 am True Street meeting where an NMCA WEST official will explain how everything works. There is lots of time for questions and answers.
5. Following the meeting you will head out on a 30-mile escorted cruise around town or the facility….and it’s OK to take passengers to enjoy the fun!
6. After the cruise there will be a brief cool-down period and then you hit the track.
7. True Street will be called to the lanes and you will make 3 back-to-back passes down the track. Reaction time does not matter so just take off after you get the green light.
8. There will be a True Street Awards Ceremony a couple of hours following the race. NMCA WEST will average everyone’s 3 passes and the closest averages to 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, & 15 seconds will each win $100 cash, an award, and your picture in Fastest Street Car Magazine! The overall runner-up will also receive $100 and an award and the overall winner will receive $250, a 6’ trophy, and a large size photo in Fastest Street Car!

At the LSX Finals in Indy last year there was an 83 year old guy who broke a new record at over 230+ mph in the 6 secon 1/4 mile. Pretty freaking impressive.
