NSS Car (Big Red Ram) Launching

Nostalgia Super Stock (AKA NSS) is a popular, and among the fastest growing forms of drag racing. The Class recreates the style of drag racing very popular in the 1960s with drivers like Ronnie Sox, Dick Landy, Butch Leal and Mickey Thompson.

NSS' roots go back to the early 1980s, when retired Super Stock racers Dave Duell, Alren Vanke and others started exhibition racing 1960s style Super Stock at Nostalgia racing events. The popularity of the class evolved into a category of drag racing with hundreds of cars and drivers competing in Championship series, and large Nostalgia Drag Racing events.

The spirit of NSS drag racing has the same models of cars that raced Super Stock between 1959 and 1969 -- but with certain safety equipment updates[1]. The cubic inch displacement of the engines in Nostalgia Super Stock is not a tech item, and motors as large as 620 cubic inches (10 L) has these cars running as quick as 8-seconds in the quarter mile, at speeds over 150 miles per hour (241 km/h).

While there are many different series, clubs, and events running NSS—the rules most run were developed and agreed by representatives from most of the clubs, and Universal at most NSS events.

The largest annual NSS Racer is the Dave Duell Classic[2] (named in honor of Dave Duell, which has seen as many as 90 Nostalgia Super Stock cars compete it what is considered the Class' National event. The event is currently run in the fall at Beechbend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY. While it is run in conjunction with a NMCA event, it is administered by Dave's son, Doug.

Some of the more popular cars currently running in NSS include Drag'n Wag'n, Texas Whale, Hustling Hooser, and the Big Red Ram.

Class Description

Pair of NSS Cars compete at the Monster Mopar Weekend

Nostalgia Super Stock is an index-style foot brake only class for the year models, body styles, and engine combinations which raced in the A/FX and Super Stock classes of the ’60s. Exceptions in the authenticity of these cars will be allowed, for instance those relating to safety, equality in performance, availability, and durability. Sandbagging, excessive braking near the finish line or excessive mph for a given e.t. is subject to result in a disqualification. The class will qualify by elapsed time closest to index, be paired according to qualifying positions, and then advance to eliminations.[3]
