      The Team N.W.B story

      Introduction

      Team N.W.B. was the creation of Greg Turnage, Jojo Pagulayan, and Randall Rowland. Each of us was from different backgrounds. I was from Northern California; Jojo was from the Philippines and Randall from Southern California, but now we were all from the Portland, Oregon metro area. This is the story of how team work and a common goal bring three strangers together to achieve what many thought to be an impossible goal. Take three cars from the Northwest and compete against the top tuner cars in the West Coast region.
