Aerospace Components NHRA Unleashed Program with NMCA/NMCA WEST to Conclude in 2014
Santa Ana, CA – The Aerospace Components NHRA Unleashed program, which has been a part of NMCA & NMCA WEST events since
mid-2011, will conclude with the final event in 2014. Having similar race categories, NMCA assisted NHRA by taking over the Unleashed program in mid-2011 to support their racers and sponsors. The Unleashed program continued with NMCA/NMCA WEST through a multi-year sponsorship for almost four years.
“Since we had the only series outside of NHRA that was able to award Wallys to racers, it was very special,” said Steve Wolcott, President & CEO of ProMedia Events. “We understood that the program would only last a few years and we were happy that we were able to partner with NHRA to bring their Unleashed program to a very deserving group of racers.”

Mike Henry To Run In Pro Street At The NMCA West Finals
Story by J. Gordon
Bakersfield, CA – San Francisco native Mike Henry will be making his Pro Street/Pro Mod debut this weekend at the NMCA West Finals
at Famosa Raceway. Henry who is a 6.90 Pro Slammers standout will be competing with some of the best drivers on the west coast. The DXL Transport sponsored 1981 Camaro will take a shot at the 1320 with a 773ci fuel injected, nitrous powered big block built by Luther Lane and Henry. As always nitrous tuner Pat Watson will be on hand while the rest of the team preps the car for competition, including his son 16yr old Michael Henry III.
It has always been Mike’s dream to compete in pro mod and with very little financial help he will make his dream come true. The car has run some good numbers in the Pro Slammers class but now they’ll have to turn up the power to compete at this level. We spoke to Henry and he had this to say, “We made some changes to the car to get it ready for this event and hopefully they work out. But our main goal is to make some good runs and qualify for the program.
