The sophomore season of NMCA racing on the West Coast kicks off this weekend with the Lucas Oil NMCA WEST Street Car Nationals at the Auto Club Famoso Raceway in glamorous Bakersfield, California.

The inaugural NMCA West series is in the books with the season finale at the legendary Famoso Raceway for the Nitto Tire NMCA West World Street Finals. We visited the historic track for this year's NMCA finals showdown.

We’re back in Pomona for some drag racing action during the NMCA West Series. Stay here, we'll be updating the with live event coverage from Friday through Sunday's final elimination round.

Over the past weekend, the Flowmaster NMCA West Street Car Nationals opened up on June 22, 2012 with an entire event scheduled at the iconic, Famoso dragstrip. As the event opener, it was the first race of the season. We recap the entire event, Friday through Sunday and reveal the winners in the heads up classes!

After the success of its first full season in 2011, the all LSX drag strip action of the Chevy Performance LSX Challenge Series is back in 2012 with yet another full season of four events. We have the dates and venues for all four events inside, so start making your plans to attend now!

I grew up hearing, "Muscle cars were meant to just go straight." And frankly, I've always hated that statement. Clearly, the ProTouring have designed their cars to do everything, and thankfully, with today's technology, the autocrossing movement and the performance aftermarket has retained that spirit.

It is the final hurrah for the NMCA in 2010, as they move to their final points event and the final major race that will occur at Gateway Raceway before its closing. St Louis is a crowd favorite for locals as they watch the final points battles for the year unfold all weekend.
