Santa Ana, CA – The last race of the NMCA WEST VP Racing Fuels Drag Racing Series kicked off with racers and fans NMCA_West-copyalike welcoming milder, fall temperatures, and racing action that would decide championships in addition to who got to visit the Aerospace Components Winner’s Circle. The Auto Club Dragway staff, including track starter Allen Jackson, worked hard on the track surface leading up to the event, and their efforts really paid off once racing got under way. During the event, their hard work and teamwork with NMCA staff made sure the track was in great condition despite numerous challenges throughout the weekend.

It was a dramatic day for the Garrett Turbo Pro Mod contingent in eliminations. John Mihovitz had a competition bye run when Greg Seth-Hunter’s Mustang had issues in qualifying that the team couldn’t resolve this weekend. The second pair, consisting of Scott Oksas and Mike Bowman, looked great from the start but soon turned into two cars being taken out of competition. Oksas’ Camaro hooked hard with a wheel stand past 60-foot resulting in extreme tire shake, got out of the groove, and then veered left just past half track, hitting the left wall and rolling several times. While Bowman had a parachute deployment failure, he ended up on fire in the safety net. Following that, Rick Snavely in the TurbosDirect Camaro took the number-one qualifier bye run in the first round, and then defeated Mihovitz in the second, 5.10 to 5.36. With no competitor on the other side of the ladder able to make lane call, Snavely only had to take the light for the event win.
