This year was the 51st March Meet. The March meet started as the U.S. Fuel and Gas Championships. Yes, some of the dragsters ran pump gas, but the fans loved fuel cars.

Bakersfield is really Famoso drag strip about 20 miles north of the city, that at one time was a military landing field out in the orange groves.

Art Chrisman drove the Hustler Dragster and won the first one. Art brought the same car and made a tire smoking run to start off the show on Sunday.

Cruz Pedregon was the Grand Marshal, and I saw Gary Densham drive a motor home in when he came to enjoy the event. 

Tommy Ivo had a great smile as he stood next to his dragster.

Jack Harris qualified #1 in top fuel and won TF.

Bucky Austin won Top Funny car for the 3rd time.

About 500 cars competed in the 14 catagories, with rods, customs, and muscle cars being shown in the grove behind the stands. Dean Court
