It really isn’t very difficult for anyone to put together a Word Press type of site for your race team/car — or any other topic. $8.95 a year for a domain name and a couple of bucks a month for web hosting. I’d put together a step by step instruction on how to do it yourself at: Word Press for Dummies
Although the Points Championship is all over — there’s a small (but hopefully will grow) non-points race called the “Lonestar Shootout” coming up that will include NSS racing.
Qualifying is Saturday and Eliminations is Sunday. If you’re interested in seeing some good drag racing — come on out. We’re in the process of getting the Vitamin C ready for me to race — as the engine was blown in the Texas Whale.
If you’re interested in Nostalgia Super Stock racing — we have a pretty good site at NSS Racing | Nostalgia Super Stock Racing and a forum at NSS Racing Forums
This wall calendar was just completed from hi-res photos taken at Bowling Green and Joliet this year. The NSS Mopars 2012 Wall Calendar will make a great Christmas gift for your Mopar fanatic friends, look good in your trailer — or just tack it to the headboard of your bed. The below are low resolution thumbnails of the the calendar cover and pages. Rest assure the actual pages use 300DPI images of over 4MB per photo — taken with professional photo equipment. Please pass this information along to any of the Mopar sites you visit.
You can find this NSS calendar and more Nostalgia Super Stock memorabilia at www.cafepress.com/texasbigbird
Here are the low res photos of the his res pages. The printer does a full bleed — so not as much of the border will actually show on the pages. You can click the link in the above to see real low res photos. These are from high quality digital photos of over 4 MB each

and there is a version 2.0 for those who prefer the drawing look over photos

I just got off the phone with Scott Sparrow with NMCA to see if they would give NSS a Wally to the winner of the Houston race, and he got with Trey and Charlie Harmon — who agreed that there will be a NSS Wally.
For those who didn't know, for 2011 NMCA partnered up with the NHRA Unleashed series — and winners of the point series races since Joliet have received a Wally. The rumor I'd heard was this was a one year only deal — and I don't think that NMCA/NHRA will make an announcement (either way) concerning 2012 before PRI.
So, if you haven't won a Wally so far, and don't win the one in Indy — then Houston might be the last opportunity you will ever get to put a Wally on your book shelf.
The other good thing about the Houston race — is that NMCA will return all of the NSS Driver's Fees back to the racers in their purse. The more who come to take their shot at the Wally in NSS — the bigger the NSS purse will be.
The South need some help from its northern brothers to get Nostalgia Super Stock in front of potential future NSS racers, and we need to try to show NMCA that Houston would be a great warm weather replacement for the first or last race of the year. Few NSS racers like Bradenton, but NMCA has to have it proven to them that Houston is a good track to run when it gets too cold up North. Please make plans to make the Houston race November 11-12.

NMCA has released a points update for after Milan — but they’re, and they’re not. One race will be dropped, and bonus points given for the number of races attended. So if you were to drop the race of all of the people that have made all of the races so far to compare with the 0 that a few racers in the top 10 have — the standings could be different. To see how NMCA calculates the points, –> http://www.nmcadigital.com/points/2011NMCApoints.pdf
These calendars are printed as ordered (on demand) here in the US — and shipped to anywhere in the world — as opposed to having a couple of thousand printed up in China. I'm in it to promoted NSS — and never made $100 total off any of the calendars I've created. It isn't a money thing.
I had a few health issues this year, and haven't had the opportunity to personally take any high-resolution photos of good quality — and to date, no one has sent me any.
What I have been able to do is take photos of far less resolution necessary to make a good photo calendar — and spend many hours using some Photoshop tricks to make the photos into Comic book style images of the needed resolution. Over the weekend I've created a calendar using high resolution versions of the low resolution images used below.
Right now as I type this, the calendar http://www.cafepress.com/texasbigbird/7998403 uses 2011 pages and hasn't yet converted to 2012 pages. Generally in October they convert the pages to 2012 — it those interested want to wait until the pages change to 2012. The link will be the same for now with the 2011 pages — and after the conversion of the calendar to 2012.
