WCOPMA kicks off 2014 season this weekend

Bakersfield, CA – Winter has passed and the “off season” is done! The baddest outlaw pro mod cars on the West Coast hit the track this weekend, March 22, for the opening event of the West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association’s 2014 season. After a successful 2013 season the WCOPMA has a great line up of cars headed to Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California for a 1-day event to start the year off.

The WCOPMA will be racing in conjunction with the National Hot Rod Diesel Association (NHRDA), an event that was a late addition to the schedule after the original season opening event was canceled for the March 1-2 weekend due to rain at Sonoma Raceway.

Big names like Mike Maggio, Rod Burbage, Tim “TK” Krupa, Sean Renteria, Scott Oksas, Garrett Richards, John Durden, Rich Roberts and Jeremy Hanger (pictured) will battle it out in a unique 1-day, all run field.

Having to squeeze an entire event into one day has led the association to make the race an all run field and only one qualifying pass will be given. Many of the teams attending have already done some pre-season testing so everyone should be ready to rock.

Gates open Saturday at 8am and it will be an action packed day with the one and only qualifying pass scheduled for 10am. From there we’ll jump into elimination rounds and with 9 racers entered we will get the four rounds of eliminations done by 5pm.

We would like to thank and welcome our following sponsors as we start off another great year of WCOPMA racing!
