The 2005 NMCA-Edelbrock Hot Rod & Muscle Car Nationals season has
finally come to an end and what a better place to celebrate it
than Memphis, Tennessee? Not only will you find a city full of
the best BBQ you can eat, but also a mob of pumped up PRO-
Edelbrock racers eager to get on the track and battle it out for
the 2005 championship. This year's event will also feature the
2nd Annual Denso Outlaw Drag Radial Shootout, with a $10,000
dollar all-cash purse plus thousands more in contingency!
In addition to the PRO-Edelbrock Drag Racing action and the huge
Swap Meet and Vendor Midway, the 4th Annual Nitto Tire NMCA World
Street Finals will also feature one of the largest car shows of
the season. Sponsored by Stuf Surface Care, the NMCA Finals Auto
Show & Shine will feature over 90 awards including the 6 foot
Best of Show trophy.
The very last event of the 2005 NMCA Hot Rod & Muscle Car
Nationals is definitely one that cannot be missed. Drawing
participants from all over the United States, you can be assured
that this will be the biggest and the best heads-up drag race,
car show, swap meet, vendor midway and burnout contest you have
ever seen. So mark your calendar for your trip to Memphis on
October 6-9, 2005 for the 4th Annual Nitto Tire NMCA World
