PSCA’s Maggio to Represent West Coast at Shakedown Nationals

 

LAS VEGAS – Two-time Pacific Street Car Association champion Mike Maggio and his Magco Drilling-sponsored 1970 Duncan Racecars Camaro journey to Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishton, N.J., for the 10th Annual Shakedown Nationals this weekend. 

The “Shakedown at E-Town” is one of the biggest outlaw drag races on the East Coast and Maggio is ready to represent his fellow West Coast drag racers. Last year’s Street Car Super Nationals’ runner up does have an ulterior motive however. 

“We want to have a good showing with the best of the east this weekend,” said the veteran racer, “and hopefully convince some of them to come to Vegas next month!” 

The SCSN runs Nov. 14-18 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The event, in its eighth year, is the highlight of the PSCA season and sanction president Mel Roth is looking forward to a huge turnout from both racers and fans. Like Maggio, Roth would love to see racers from this weekend’s race make their way to Sin City in November. 

“The Shakedown is a great event and every drag racer and drag racing fan should experience what (Shakedown Promoter) Dave Hance has put together,” Roth said. “After they race in Jersey this weekend, that gives them more than enough time to get their cars refurbished and make the trek to Vegas and enjoy some of our hospitality and see how the West Coast does it!”

Sikora Shatters PSCA Outlaw 10.5 Record

 

LAS VEGAS – Four-time Pacific Street Car Association champion Doug Sikora dropped a 6.507-second run last weekend at the Mickey Thompson West Coast Shootout Presented by Edelbrock at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to break the MAGNAFUEL Outlaw 10.5 record.

The Apple Valley, Calif., native debuted a new combo in his Ford Mustang, a 499ci BAE with a 136mm F3R ProCharger, last month at the Lucas Oil Slick Mist Drags and broke the speed record with a 218.69 mph run.

“Doug has really raised the bar for every racer who competes with us,” PSCA President Mel Roth said. “He’s got his eyes on the prize and that’s the Street Car Super Nationals in a little more than a month. The best of the best are going to be there and it’s going to be a great show.”

PSCA’s Mickey Thompson West Coast Shootout Hits Vegas This Weekend

LAS VEGAS – Championships are on the line this weekend at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the Pacific Street Car Association’s Mickey Thompson West Coast Shootout Presented by Edelbrock takes to the track Friday-Sunday.

The PSCA, presented by Chris Alston’s Chassisworks, has provided some of the best drag racing in the country during the 2012 season and this weekend’s event should be no different. Several class championships are up for grabs, especially the Calvert Racing Street Muscle division where an astounding 12 drivers are still mathematically in the hunt for the title. Also appearing at the track this weekend is the Lucas Oil Car Show, open to fans Saturday and Sunday.

“It’s just been amazing what we’ve seen on the track this year,” PSCA President Mel Roth said. “To be this late in the season and still have these classes so tightly contested shows just how good the racing has been and how talented these racers are. It says a lot about the teams that they can compete at this level and give our fans they kind of racing they deserve.”

All of the PSCA’s 2011 champions will be recognized during an awards banquet Saturday following qualifying.
