SANTA ANA, Calif. -- The NMRA Competition Department is proud to announce a new index class for the 2016 season. With a working title of "Ford Muscle", this new championship class will debut at the season opener in Bradenton, Florida on March 3-6 at the 22nd Annual NMRA Spring Break Shootout presented by Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords magazine.

NMRA National Event Director Rollie Miller said, "This new class will be part of the national NMRA championship series. Ford Muscle is a new foot-brake only index class for 1955 and later Ford vehicles on a .500 full tree off indexes from 9.50 to 14.50."

"We're thrilled about this new addition to our championship series," said Miller. "We listened to our racers' requests and suggestions and decided to add this class."
