The Maggio Motorsports team won the 2014 West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association (WCOPMA) season opening event run in conjunction with the National Hot Rod Diesel Association (NHRDA). Mike Maggio and his Maggio Motorsports team ran the table for their sixth WCOPMA event win since first racing with the group in 2011.

The victory continues the dominating trend of this team. Of Maggio’s six total WCOPMA victories a total of five of them have been clean sweeps which included a number 1 qualifying spot, event win and low ET of the event, This past weekend’s victory was no different.

Maggio started the day by grabbing the top qualifying spot posting a 5.754 on the scoreboards. Not too far behind was event runner up Rod Burbage in his Spec Rite Converter Racing 1969 Camaro with a 5.764. Jeremy Hanger and Tim “TK” Krupa rounded out the top half of the qualifying order with impressive 5.834 and 5.851 runs.

In the first round of eliminations Maggio edged out tough competitor Sean Renteria in his fan favorite unique 1964 Plymouth Valliant with a 5.744 to Renteria’s peddling 6.034. In his semifinal matchup Maggio would be paired against his old 1970 Camaro now campaigned by a top west coast based turbo racer Scott Oksas. Maggio’s crew chief Kurt Kuhnes had the ol Camaro hopped up and a new WCOPMA blower ET record of 5.694 lit up the scoreboard for the round win.

Burbage earned his way to the final by getting past John Durden with a 5.786 and Garrett Richards with a 5.766.

In the final round Burbage had the advantage at the tree but shortly after that it was all over as he had to do a quick pedal allowing Maggio to thunder for the event win with a 5.714 to Burbage’s 5.972.

The next event for the WCOPMA is scheduled for June 7-8 also at Auto Club Famoso Raceway for their Super Chevy Show event.
