Greg Seth Hunter NMCA WEST Pro Street Winner

The NMCA WEST wrapped up the first race of their inaugural season with the conclusion of the Lucas Oil Muscle Car Nationals at Auto Club Famoso Raceway near Bakersfield, Calif.

The first race of the Flowmaster NMCA WEST Drag Racing Series.

With championship battles forming early in this year’s four race season, every round win counts, especially when NHRA “Wallys” are up for grabs as a part of NHRA Unleashed presented by Aerospace Components.

In Garrett Turbochargers Pro Street, Greg Seth-Hunter, who qualified fourth in his turbocharged Mustang, defeated number one qualifier Mike Bowman in the semifinals after Bowman had trouble staging the car, and then Seth-Hunter went on to beat the blown big-block powered S10 of John Durden in a 6.61 at 215 MPH to 7.07 at 210 MPH final.

This also marked a new “Personal Best” for Mike Bowman in Pro Street
