NMCA: Same Day Event Coverage on StreetLegalTV. Vinny Demieri was quick, but it was consistency in the tricky heat that paid off for his first win in NMCA Pro Street competition at Beech Bend over the weekend, defeating an out-of-shape Joe Dunne in the final round. In Super Street, Mike Murillo continued his dominant pace, although showing signs of being human in the later rounds, including a 7.27 in the final that was enough to best Ed Rice’s struggling lap in the other lane. Jim Jarrett overcame some staunch competition for the Nostalgia Pro Street crown, and Bob Kurgan did likewise in Xtreme Street, earning the win on Phil Smith’s redlight in the final. Others winners included Don Baskin, Jason Lee, and Robbie Blankenship.
