These events may or may not include flatheads. If I know of a class for flatheads, it will be noted.
It is my normal practice to leave events on this calendar that occurred last year, but for which I have no dates this year. The month it took place last year is listed, but not the date. If I believe the event will not be held this year, I will remove it. If anyone sees a dateless event and they know the date for this year, please email me with the info. As usual, I want to list as many nostalgia races I can. Please email me with planned races whether they are local or national in scope. I'd like to list them all.
One particularly interesting development in 2007 was the reorganization of the Flatheaders of Denver and The Vintage Timing Association into the Vintage Drag Racing Association, FlatheadÐInline. They modified their rules to include all flathead engines and all pushrod, nonÐelectronic inline engines. They have a new web page at http://www.denverflathead.com/

There are a number of groups of nostalgia and nostalgiaÐlike racers that run their own circuits or have bookedÐin shows. After giving it some thought, I have decided to list these groups separately. I will give a link to their web site if there is one. With the links, changes and additions can be followed by a click of your mouse rather than me having to figure out when updates are needed and post them. You may notice some of the dates will overlap with the races listed above as these folks often participate in nostalgia races beyond their individual bookings. I would note that I am sure I have missed a bunch. If you aren't listed and want to be, send me an email. The listing is alphabetical.
All American Fuel Dragsters, Inc. Strange that the first listing doesn't really run a circuit or book shows. To quote from their web page, "The purpose of the association is to harmonize Front Motored Top Fuel Teams, and coordinate goals with track operators and promoters. Our intent is to further develop and promote Front Motored Top Fuel drag racing in a safe and professional manner, and to be actively involved in the rules making decisions in which we race by." Members participate in many of the big nostalgia top fuel races in the country.
Central States Gasser Association The epicenter of this group is Oklahoma.
Carolina Gassers Promoting heads up racing with classic gassers.
Dixie Classic Funny Cars & Fuelish Friends These folks want to make a clear distinction between ÒNewstalgiaÓ and ÒNostalgia.Ó They are promoters of the latter. Their focus is Ô60s and Ô70s Funny Cars. I believe they have teamed up with the Southern Slingshots these days.
East Coast Gassers The motto on their logo is "Drag racing as it used to be!!!" Their cars must look period correct Ð pre '68 bodies, no snorkel scoops, no aero wings, period correct wheels, and so on.
Front Engine Dragsters Association This is the first organization for front engine dragsters in the U.S. They organize the Slingshot Nationals.
Gasser Gang of Western New York Willys, Henry J, Austin, and Anglia are the focus of this group.
Great Lakes Nostalgia Funny Car Circuit A circuit of 70Õs and 80Õs style Funny Cars running on alcohol. A requirement of the circuit is that they be as period correct as possible with no modern aerodynamic body modifications.
MidÐWest Gasser Association This is pretty much what it sounds like.
MidÐAtlantic Nostalgia Drag RacersÕ Association (MANDRA) Pre '73 body styles with a nostalgic appearance. Their web site seems to have disappeared.
North East Timing Organization (NETO) Pre '74 cars in the form of Front Engine Dragsters, Funny Cars, Altereds, Gassers, Super Stocks, and Stockers running in two eliminator brackets. They do the bracket racing part a little differently and the info is on their web site.
Nostalgia Pro Comp Association This Midwest and East Coast association has been formed embracing the ideals of NHRA's original Pro Comp category, only with a few twists. The NPCA will feature three types of race cars all running in three separate "capped" (indexed) classes. These car types include Front Engine Dragsters, pre '79 Funny Cars, and Altereds which will compete in the following classes: Super Eliminator (6.50), Pro Comp I (7.00), and Pro Comp II (7.50) with ambitions of eventually hosting a Nitro Eliminator (6.00) class.
Nostalgia Super/Stock, Inc. This group features Super Stock cars of the Ô60s. Their goal is to provide a show made up of Ô60s style Super Stock cars that are ÒLegends of the Past.Ó YouÕll be seeing no swoopy streamlined modern hood scoops here.
Ontario Nostalgia Drag Racers (ONDR) A group of nostalgia drag racers, enthusiasts, and historians who are interested in promoting the sport of Òold style racing,Ó according to their web site.
Open Top Fuel This group wants to do things the way I would like to see them done Ð giving a venue for VRA legal newstalgia, open top fuel with things VRA doesn't allow, and real nostalgia. Even a way to race genuine classics that don't meet current certification.
Outlaw Fuel Altereds Blown alcohol and nitro altereds (center steer cars). No one would mistake these fuel altereds for late sixties fuel altereds, but if the class had carried on, this is probably what it would have evolved to. Often participate in nostalgia races. Amazingly fun to watch.
Pro Nostalgia Association Front motored nostalgia or newstalgia cars capable of 7.99 or quicker.
Senior Drag Racing Association A spinÐoff of the HAMB/Gas RailÐtype of car, but permitting automatic transmissions and modern carburetors. Most of their races are in Tulsa, but they do some traveling, too. Their disclaimer: ÒNOTE: The SDRA is not affiliated with the Jalopy Journal, the H.A.M.B., or the HA/GR class of dragsters. However, the HA/GR dragsters currently meet our rules and are more than welcome to join and compete at SDRA events.Ó
Southern Slingshots A group dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the original dragster whether short wheelbase altereds or longer front engined dragsters, paraphrased from their web site.
Southwest Junior Fuel Association A mostly Texas-based group of injected alcohol front-engine dragster group that runs a points series. It looks like a mix of ÒnewstalgiaÓ and nostalgia dragsters.
Texas Outsiders Nostalgia Super Stocks Index racing with Nostalgia Super Stock for Ô60s cars and Nostalgia Muscle Car for Ô60s and Ô70s cars. Check out their rules.
The Texas Timing Association If I may quote member Ed Miller, this Òis a group of racers who love and race traditional styled drag race cars. A number of former national champions run their original unrestored dragsters and altereds from the 50Õs and 60Õs with the TTA. They are present at many events on the traditional drag racing circuit each year, including the Texas Thaw and the Day of the Drags. The TTA brings cars for cacklefests at the Lone Star Rod and Kustom Roundup, the Vintageair Reunion, and the Billetproof Car show. TTA also stages the Texas State Championships at Northstar Dragway in Denton, TX on November 1st as the final major traditional drag race in the US for the season.Ó
The Nostalgia Boys From Illinois Kind of selfÐdescriptive group name, these folks take nostalgia frontÐengined dragsters on the road for headsÐup racing. The web site seems to have disappeared, but IÕll hold the place for a little while just in case it comes back.
Vintage Drag Racing Association, FlatheadÐInline This used to be Flatheaders of Denver, Inc. & Vintage Timing Association. This is the only flathead drag racing organization I know about and they have now branched out to all years of inline cars as well, regardless of which direction the valves point. They have a circuit that hits the tracks of Colorado and a few in adjoining states.
