Bakersfield March Meet Sat 9th.
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 13 6:52 pm
Pics from Saturday 9th. Temp in the mid 50's but thankfully dry after the thursday & friday were all but washed out. 2 day ticket $55.
Show n shine plus swap meet and racing. As Wolfman said the swap meet was disappointing, more aimed at the Rodders. Loads of rusty original tin, Schwinn bicycles and Coke machines. A bit like Arena Essex really.
Apparently Great White (80's Zep-a-like) played there one evening but we didn't see them.
Racing split into 4 classes i think for doorslammers - A, B, C & D Gas. Ranging from 6.60 to 9.60. Plus Nostalgia funny cars, dragsters & altereds. Shame no S/S or A/FX. Predictably very few Mopars compared to the usual Ford / GM. From memory i think some of the floppers were running mid 5's at 250 in the full quarter.
Sunday pics to follow.
Sorry about the poor resizing on this beautiful wagon.
Al off the telly (American Hot rod):
I really should have sat a bit higher up in the stands to see over the 'worlds media'.
Note the fenderwell headers & cheater slicks
I think Duncan was there too.
Original 70 Cuda flopper (rolling) for sale. No price tho.
