Nostalgia Super Stock

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, 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 1967 but with certain safety equipment updates. 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.
