Wooo Whooo...it's time to start drag racing again!
Every year my son and I start our drag racing season the first weekend in march racing at The March Meet in Bakersfield. For those that have not been able to attend it's more than just another nostalgia event. It's more like a Rock Concert Happening for drag racers. Racers come from all over the country to race and enjoy the nice usually warm weather. We go to watch the racing, check out the swap meet, car show, cruise the pits and talk to some great racers, and yes also race our underdog 1960 VW against some of the best bracket racers in the nation. Our racing buddy last year won the Hot Rod class by beating 256 other cars for the trophy in his Karmen Ghia. He runs it with an old Hilborn mechanical fuel injection on alcohol and no cooling. Lets just say we have a good time with only 3 or 4 VW's racing 256 other cars in our "sold out" class.
I have worked hard over the winter to get my 32' highboy back together after it's new dark red paint job and will be towing up our teardrop trailer to camp out. We usually end up pitted at the top end of the track by the timing slip booth so if your in the area please stop by and say hi.
Anyone else planning to attend?
If I had only one event that I could attend each year, it would be The March Meet.
