Victory Nostalgia Super Stock Rules 
(Updated 10-31-2025) 
THE BELOW ARE THE RULES IN PRINT. ANYTHING NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED IS  
PROHIBITED UNLESS APPROVED BY THE SERIES RULES COMMITTEE. 
Class Description 
Nostalgia Super Stock is an index style foot brake only class for the year models, body styles, 
and engine combinations, which accurately represent those cars, which raced in the Super  
Stock classes of the ‘60’s. Certain exceptions in the authenticity of those cars will be 
allowed.  Among those exceptions, but not limited to, are factors concerning safety, equality  
in performance, availability, and durability.  
Eligibility will be based on a visual inspection by Series Rules Committee members. 
No modifications, which alter the car from factory stock, are permitted unless they are  
specifically allowed in these rules.  All cars and drivers must meet track sanctioning body  
safety rules for their ET range. Competition rules are voted on by Victory NSS Association members, 
as necessary. For any questions or clarifications, please contact the Series Director. The decisions of 
Series Director are final. 
Sandbagging, excessive braking near the finish line, or excessive mph for a given ET is subject to 
result in a disqualification. 
Nostalgia Super Stock is an all run field and will compete on an NHRA Pro type ladder. Racers will 
run on a .500 Full Tree with Autostart On and will be handicapped according to index. The class will 
qualify by elapsed time closest to index, be paired according to qualifying positions, and then 
advance accordingly in eliminations.  
Index must be declared prior to the qualifying pass and can’t be changed. It is always the driver’s 
responsibility to verify that the posted index is correct.  
In QUALIFYING, if a racer fully stages on an incorrect index, the posted index is accepted for that 
pass; therefore, that pass will be based on the posted/accepted index. 
In ELIMINATIONS, if a racer fully stages on an incorrect index, the posted index is accepted for 
that pass; therefore, that pass will be based on the posted/accepted index and the WIN LIGHT 
will be the deciding factor of that race. 
Indexes for Victory NSS are at .25 second intervals starting at 9.00 and ending at 13.00, for ¼ mile.  
For 1/8 mile indexes will utilize a 1.56 conversion factor. 
ALL cars running an 11.00 or faster index MUST HAVE an engine diaper or approved belly pan 
system and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ON ALL CARS.
