(June 9, 2017 Santa Ana CA)
The 7th Annual Lucas Oil NMCA West Coast Shootout presented by JE Pistons on June 2-4, 2017 lured racers from near and far with a great weather forecast and hot competition on track. This event, the second of four races in the VP Racing Fuels NMCA West Drag Racing Series, featured an array of heads-up and index classes, as well as the Hotchkis Auto X presented by Nitto Tire.
In ProCharger Outlaw Street competition, Johnny Coleman’s ’69 Camaro led qualifying with a 4.73-second performance, and the horsepower that drove it to that took Coleman to the final round where he faced the ’68 Camaro of Michael Orban. Coleman looked to make it two wins in a row by taking the starting line advantage, but Orban edged him out at the stripe, 5.386 to 5.501.
Making it two in a row in ARP Outlaw 8.5 competition was Orland, California’s George Raygoza. Raygoza qualified number one with a 4.97 from his Chevy Nova, and he faced Tim Orello in the final round of competition. At the stripe, it was Raygoza first with a 5.15 to Orello’s off-pace 7.43 effort.
