It took a day longer than planned, but the third annual NHRA JEGS Pacific SPORTSnationals presented by K&N at Auto Club Dragway is in the books. Racers came from across NHRA's Pacific and Northwest divisions to compete in this national event which features NHRA's sportsman competitors. It was the last of three JEGS SPORTSnationals events held across the country this year. The final rounds were highlighted by local racers including

La Verne's Dave Moreno who won in Stock Eliminator.

Moreno wheeled his '69 Mustang to the win over Mark Faul, Tacoma, Wash., who was driving a '69 Chevelle. Faul, however, did get a win when he took his '98 Grand Am to the winner's circle in Super Stock. The Super Stock runner-up was Bob Bales of Chino.

In Comp Eliminator, Doug Lambeck of Corona Del Mar, Calif., earned the win over Upland's Ross Wilson. Mike Ferderer, Buckley, Wash., grabbed the win in Super Comp, beating out Chris Lindsay, Peoria, Ariz. Rosemead, Calif., racer Ed DeStaute won the Super Gas title over Daniel Beresford of Calimesa, Calif., and in Super Street, Matt Blodgett of Signal Hill, Calif., behind the wheel of his '72 Vega, ousted Harlan Tucker of Miranda, Calif., who was driving a '70 Challenger. Larry Scarth, Manhattan Beach, Calif., beat Wayne Silvia, another Upland resident, in the Top Sportsman final and the win in Top Dragster went to J.R. Leerkamp, Olympia, Wash., over Tom Yancer of of Chandler, Ariz. Leerkamp's father, Stanley, won the NHRA JEGS Cajun SPORTSnationals in Belle Rose, La., in April of this year.
