http://www.randkdragfest.com/"The idea behind Dragfest is to put on a real nostalgia drag race. When you look out across the track, we would like for it to resemble a real, early, 1960’s drag race. To do this, we plan on making the more period correct and history cars our main focus for both the drag racing and the car and bike show. Though the focus of the car show area will be of a more traditional nature, there will be an additional preferred parking area in the pits for the guys that show up with their streetrods and muscle cars.
The racing will feature several nostalgia classes like pre ’72 top fuel rails and funny cars, straight axle gassers, pre ’64 door slammers, and a vintage bike class just to name a few. Click here to see a complete listing of the classes. We are also offering a $500.00 first prize for the best 60’s back-up girl. We encourage back-up girls to participate in all classes.
To keep the entertainment going after dark on Saturday night there will be a drive-in style screen set up in the pits showing vintage drag racing footage provided by Scot Hamilton from The Dreams of Legends. We will also have a couple of honky-tonk bands playing to keep that traditional Bakersfield feeling alive well into the night. Finals will be held on Sunday and will wrap up with the winners receiving their trophies from a sweet little 60’s style trophy girl. See
YOU there!
