While the “official” NMRA/NMCA season may be over, the organization is still running a few races to round out the competition for the year. Just this past weekend they were at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas for their third running of the Lonestar Shootout. Charles Wickam was on the wall for us shooting photos of the racing action, pit thrashing, and show cars that filled the grounds.
“Post-season” or not, these guys were racing like it was the Spring. Evidence of that can be seen in the multitude of wheelstand shots as well as a wild sequence of what looks to be a Pro Street racer spinning his car at half track and just barely kissing the wall.
As of this writing the results were not yet published, so you’ll have to enjoy the gallery and we’ll run the results when we get them. If you have the opportunity to check out and NMRA/NMCA in your area, make sure you check it out. You’ll see some of the best door slammer racing in the country, take in a bitchin’ car show, and get to rub elbows with all the big hitters in the pits!
Thanks to Charles Wickam for the photos!

My Mustang is the blue one you can just see behind the silver 67,you can also see the rear behind the 70 Mach 1.
I was out at the swapmeet when that Black 57 left so I must have walked right past you.
