NMRA to Debut Street Bandit 10.10 Class at World Finals in Kentucky
 
If your weapon of choice is a street-legal fast Ford, get ready to plan a trip to Bowling Green because NMRA is debuting a new class at the World Finals + Holley Ford Fest allowing racers to compete heads-up on the quarter mile in a single-index class for a shot at cash and a coveted Victor award.
 
“From the thriving True Street class to the red-hot 8.60 Street Race category, blazing-fast street machines are among the hottest race cars in our series,” said Steve Wolcott, co-Founder of NMRA. “With that in mind, we’re offering a fresh class open to the large group of racers with 9 & 10-second race cars that aren’t built specifically for an existing category. That class is Street Bandit 10.10, which will be presented by Whatever It Takes Transmission Parts.”
 
Contested for the first time at the Whipple Superchargers NMRA World Finals + Holley Ford Fest from September 28-October 1 at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Street Bandit 10.10 follows in the tire tracks of the wildly successful 8.60 Street Race class, but geared toward street-legal race cars (license plate, proof of current registration, valid insurance and DOT tires required). Raced Heads-up on a .400 Pro Tree, this single-index category is open to street-legal Ford-powered and -bodied machines that can run as quick as 10:10 seconds on the quarter-mile.
 
“We’ve seen a surge in the popularity of our street-oriented classes in NMRA,” added Rollie Miller, General Manager & National Event Director of NMRA. “This new Street Bandit 10.10 class caters to a large group of street-legal Ford racers where the potential for participants is strong bringing even more excitement to NMRA.”
 
Paired by chip draw for eliminations, Street Bandit 10.10 competitors will run for a range of payouts, including $1,000 to the winner, $400 to the runner-up, $125 to semifinalists, and $50 to quarterfinalists.  While there is no contingency available at this year’s Bowling Green event, Street Bandit 10.10 will be added as a ‘pro’ category to the series 2024 contingency program.
