The fabled Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield will roar to life with the K&N Filters/Goodguys 45th March Meet, March 12, 13 & 14. The March Meet, an annual Southern California racing tradition, is the cornerstone of the Goodguys Vintage drag racing program and offers the nostalgia racing fan the best-of-the best in quarter mile competition. Spectators will witness high-speed, quarter-mile duels in Top Fuel, Junior Fuel, AA/Gas, and many other classes. This nostalgia drag racing experience also showcases an outdoor show n' shine with hundreds and hundreds of vintage vehicles through 1972, manufacturer exhibits, a used auto parts swap meet and lots of fun for the entire family.
