No, FFW is a completely different organization with different classes, different rules and different event dates. FFW and NMRA basically compete for the racer's business. Though they basically have the same structure of classes (pro, outlaw, renegade, etc.), there are differences in the rules that for the most part force the racer to choose one series or another. For example in FFW I race in the Street Warrior class. The not-so-equivalent class to S/W over in NMRA is Pure Street. I can cross over and race in P/S, but I'm penalized about 350# for my combination and would run more than .5 seconds off the leader's pace. The competitive P/S racer can't however cross over to S/W because they are allowed things that we're not in S/W. The same scenario (one way or the other) basically holds true for all other classes except for Mod Motor and Truck classes. Those guys are pretty much free to jump back and forth at will.

You're best bet is to study the rules for both organizations and decide which organization best suits your wants, needs and desires. Then build your car to those specific rules.

Hope this helps.
