The NMRA blasts into the 2012 season with guns blazing, starting the year off right at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida, over the weekend of March 1-4, 2012. As the traditional jumping-off point for the NMRA season, Bradenton always brings record-setting weather and a great racing surface to the NMRA competitors. Last season’s event was punctuated by the race to 200 mph in the ProCharger Super Street Outlaw class, with perennial competitor Chris Tuten becoming the first racer to get down the 1320’ and light the board with an awesome 7.20 at over 201 mph during Friday’s qualifying sessions. With the release for 2012 of the NMRA’s newest heads-up class, the sealed-engine Coyote Stock class, the action is sure to be hot and heavy right from the hit in every class at the NMRA’s season opener. The NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals Series has a little bit of everything for the racing fan – from the hardcore Turbosmart Pro Outlaw 10.5 class that features turbo- and supercharged doorslammers that are capable of burning up the quarter-mile with mid-6-second passes, to the heavy hitters of the all-motor Edelbrock Hot Street class shooting for glory with their state-of-the-art small-block Ford engines. Fans and racers alike wait all winter for this event to take place, so make sure you’ve got your seat in the stands to be a witness to it all!
