FRACAS IN FONTANA... NEXT WEEKEND!

Keeping occupied won't be too difficult at the upcoming JE Pistons NMCA West Coast Shootout Presented by Lucas Oil. For the racing purist, keeping an eye on 2015 points battles will offer insight into how the rest of the season may unfold. Leading the pack in Garrett Turbo Pro Mod is defending class champion, Rick Snavely who notched a win over Mark Luton back in March.

Mickey Thompson True 10.5 saw an unlikely winner at the first race of the season after Johnny Coleman took the win from Dana Cook, in a race that was decided on the tree, proving that the fastest car doesn't always win the race. With Cook looking for a bit of revenge and Coleman now running with more power than he has in previous years, these two may once again find themselves lining up for the final.

 

One of the hottest classes on the West Coast is ARP Outlaw 8.5. Earlier in the spring, eight cars waged battle on Fontana's surface with George Raygoza and his Nova taking the win over Anthony Smith. With several cars all running within a tenth of a second of each other, no one can predict the outcome of this second event of the still young 2015 VP Racing Fuels Drag Racing Series!

RACER SPOTLIGHT: STEVE COX, HEDMAN HEDDERS NSS DRIVER

Hedman Hedders Nostalgia Street Car driver Steve Cox, who was runner up to Jim Losquardo at the season-opening event, is looking forward to the second race of the season for a number of reasons. The most important being time spent with his family. "We make it a family affair at these events when at all possible. Since I live in the high desert and they live in the San Gabriel Valley, Fontana is a perfect place for all of us to get together. For us, and many racers, the race track is for more than just racing," Cox said.

Another reason he's looking forward to next weekend's event is testing out a refreshed motor. "It turns out that I had a problem at the last race, which didn't reveal itself until a few weeks later. The end result was a broken engine," Cox said. He added that it was the first blown engine he had ever had since he began racing in the mid-60s. "I've ruined plenty of transmissions, but never an engine," he said.

 

The rebuilt mill will be taking its first laps right off the trailer, Cox added. "We will break it in on the dyno, put it in the car, and head to the track. That's about all the time we have," Cox said. 'Thankfully we didn't do anything different to it, so there should not be a learning curve with it at all," He added. "I just hope we can do one spot better than we did at the last race, " Cox concluded.
