As fast as the Nostalgia folks jump on this race, especially the fixed index 'Gas' runners along with the the 'Eliminator' classes, You might not want to put off registration too long. They have a car count limit even as BIG as this race is. You wait too long and still get in, You'll be pitting out in the Palmdale suburbs. This is Mecca to the Nostalgia crowd and rightfully so. boogie

not our first rodeo.....




I've got to crunch the calendar and see what's going on. this pict was last year and I was so sick I shouldn't been there. Started feeling better by Saturday and then my dad got hit with it. luckily we went out first round, loaded up and left.... fun event, but we were in no condition to enjoy it. That's why I need redemption!!

it's a neat event and should be taken in by any hotrodder that lives within a days drive at least once. To stage there and think about those that have gone before.... The track is wide and smooth and I think probably the best on the west coast. I run the bottom feeder "hot rod" class, and it's nice because you start elims on Saturday. Big goal to make it to Sunday! So much stuff to look at it's hard to see it all in a weekend. We stayed at the track back in 12, but grabbed a motel since I was sicker n a dog last year. I think I'll do that again as we did wander down to Chuy's Grill for the car show. Here's the "essence" of March Meet. Dad had his daughters pulling driving duty, because the grand daughter (who usually drove) was in Vegas for a wedding...

Nothing bottom feeder about HOT ROD class. Gotta be a warrior to win it. The March Meet is not only legendary but the track night life is pretty epic too. And don't forget our 200 plus guest BBQ me and the family put on....always a great time at the March Meet.

With all the "gasser" classes and nostalgia stuff..... you know what I meant smile. As for the meal... It's the REAL DEAL folks! We've enjoyed the hospitality of the Thomas family and Cargill Family Racing twice. These folks go over the top to feed the participants of the "hot rod" class. Now if Ron would just remember who the he77 I am.... maybe he'll discuss some t-shirt ideas I'd like.....

Billy..... bring a scooter, golf cart, or at the very least a bicycle. You'll need it! Screw it..... I'm pre-registering RIGHT NOW!

I can barely remember my home address anymore. My days are long and memory is short. I think everyone should wear name tags around me. And YES ....we'll talk about T-shirts...lol...my life is always T-shirts....
We love everyone enjoying themselves at the BBQ. Few more special guests are on tap for 2016. If you want to meet some people in the industry make sure you come to eat...all are welcome in our pits.

It's like a poor guy old school national event. If you run the TnT you start racing on Wednesday. Load in is usually Monday. Dang near a week in Mecca. Good sized swap meet....huge vendor row...and a big car show right behind the stands. Not to mention the spectators camp right along the fence line and have their own compound. We call it Land of the misfit toys....lol

Well my plan of "skating" through work for two days didn't go so well.... Was so busy I didn't have lunch yesterday or today and worked till 6 both days. Just got in from stacking krap in the trailer. Hook up is at 5:30 am, and we should be heading west by 6. Looking forward to five days at Famoso!

Looks like rain may stay away 'til Saturday night? Last time I raced the March Meet was in 2013 and as I remember it rained Friday nonstop which put the schedule in to a tailspin. The return road was a lake. The weather pushed the rest of our (hot rod) elims in to Monday and I went out third round. I loaded up and drove straight to work. I had been there since Wednesday morning living in my Lance camper pitted out in the mud, one row in from the time shack so work was a welcomed sight laugh2 Great times though thumbs Like Mike said, we'll be there Saturday gallivanting around...

Have gone the last 9 years on Friday, but now they stopped selling Friday only tickets.... rolleyes
Now to go on Friday, one has to buy a 3-day weekend pass for $100...
Don't know who decided that scheme but still a great show for cars and drag racing..

Just my $0.02... wink
