Faas and JFM are heading to Calistoga this weekend for the first Western Classic Racing Series race of 2014!

USAC Western Classic Racing Series
Calistoga Speedway | Calistoga, CA
April 5^th and 6^th

‘Cali Ace’, Nic Faas, Huntington Beach, CA, piloting the JFM King Racing Products / A & A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73’s has made the podium 3 times in three races!! If that’s not enough, Nic has placed in the top ten in the last 7 races he’s started, 2^nd in the USAC CRA points race and 4^th in the West Coast Sprint Car Series points race!

When we started the season we stated we were going to try and run all the WCSC, all the CRA, many of the Midget and Classic races. Well we said, “JFM is putting together a 2014 Schedule geared toward competing strongly in both the USAC CRA Sprint Car Series and the West Coast Sprint Car Series.” The JFM drivers this year are running in the top 5 in all the West coast sprint series’, Faas in two different classes!

Josh Ford Motorsports, with the talented Ryan Bernal out of Hollister, won the points race for the Western Classic Racing Series last year.

"2014 will begin a new chapter for USAC’s Northern California traditional sprint car division. The WCRS has adopted the same successful rules package currently in use by the USAC West Coast Sprint Cars."
L. Jennings - Hosehead Forums

This is the first time at Calistoga that points will only be earned under the USAC Western Classic banner at this ½ mile, celebrated “Home of the Louie Vermeil Classic” track.

$2000 will go to the winner on both Saturday and Sunday. Gates open at 3pm. Racing starts at 7pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday.

Follow the racing as it happens both days here and on Twitter!

USAC CRA 410 - Santa Maria Speedway - Santa Maria, CA

Ryan Bernal out of Hollister, CA driving the King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73 of Josh Ford Motorsports started the evening running fast and never let up. Crew chief Jimmy May had the car dialed in. Ryan was fast in qualifying with a 13.989. For the 8 lap first heat Bernal started 6th and finished 3rd. Going into the main we knew our chances were good with the car running fast, Ryan driving like a vet and starting on the outside of the third row. Ryan powered his way up to pass Gardner and Mitchell about the 13 laps remaining and took it all the way to the checkered flag!

This is Ryan's first CRA win of the season. He lead laps 19-30 and won the Keizer Wheels / Racing Optics Hard Charger coming from 6th to 1st.

On June 14 this year, Ryan wheeled his way to a 5th place finish here in Watsonville. Tonight, Bernal, driving for Josh Ford Motorsports in the King Racing Products / A&A Precision CNC Machine / Berry Pack #73 again claimed 5th! Jimmy May and the team had the car dialed in. Bernal out of Hollister, CA was 2nd fast and started Heat 2 in 6th. In the ten lap second heat, Ryan took 2nd! This put him starting 5th in the main. Damion Gardner was upside down early on and Ryan pushed his way up to second where he stayed for most of the first half of the 30 lap feature. By lap 17 Bernal was out in front of the field running as fast and hard as he was all night. He held on to the lead through the 28th lap and after the last of several cautions for the evening, Bernal fell back some and claimed 5th just as he did in June.
