The 3rd Annual JE Pistons NMCA West Coast Shootout, presented by Lucas Oil, will once again take place this upcoming weekend (May 16-19) at historic Pomona Raceway in Pomona, California. The NMCA West series has been a resounding success so far, providing the heads-up and bracket racers on the West Coast a chance to race for a Wally at each and every event. This is the second stop of the season for the Flowmaster NMCA WEST Street Car Nationals, and its expected that the racing action will be hot and heavy in all of the classes. At the last event in Bakersfield, Joe Lepone, Jr. took home the Garrett Turbo Pro Street win over John Durden, while the amazing Camaro of Al Jimenez snagged the Mickey Thompson True Ten 5 crown over Rodger Holder in a pedalfest.
