Bakersfield March Meet (2 Viewers)

[J. S.]

The March Meet is this weekend. Looks like we might be OK weather-wise. I'm planning on leaving LA at 4am Sat to get a good parking spot for Saturday's action, so I can get my first drag racing fix of 2025. Anyone else on here going?

I most likely will not go again this year. But, I do go it will be on Sunday when the weather warms back up.

I'm going Saturday too. Leaving around 8am. Not too worried about parking. I'll bring a flashlight so I can find my car.
