Default NMCA true street?

Has anyone attended and raced a FWD in the true steet class. They have a bunch of index classes since shooting for the fastest thing there is close to imposible. The extent of the rules are Street tires and mufflers. Must make a short cruise then back to the track 3 passes with out changing anything but tire pressure. I was considering taking out my car and shooting for the 11.0 index, who knows might turn some heads.
