    quickie road trip...

    Took last Fri. off and used part off a beautiful SoCal day to finally clean some of the bad weather from under the corners of the old blue car...

    The weekend planed was up to Willow for the HSR/West vintage race on Sat.... then up to Tehachapi and over to Bakersfield to friends - then up to the 46th annual 'March Meet' drag race (now a vintage event) at Famoso Raceway.

    HSR/West is run by Ed and Sally Swart...

    Ed, an x-pat Dutchman, was a former factory works Abarth prototype driver... and still one of the fastest drivers on his own grid...
    And his lovely wife Sally, an x-pat Brit, has helped all along... and in the early 60's it's no secrete she was a 'mod' fashion model... and last serious girlfriend of the great Jim Clark...

    Up and over to Tehachapi and on to Bakersfield ... With all the damn rain we've been having, the spring wildflower session is kicking off early... when you're go'n slow enough to take a look...

    The 'March Meet' drag race at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield has been an institution for 46 years. In the day it was put on by Smokers Inc. (smoking tires) ... on it's an all out vintage meet put on by the Goodguys promotional hot rod group.
    The 6th March Meet in 1965 was first time I went as a wide-eyed 15 year old kid.... Oh the stories to tell...
    Thought it would be cool to bookend those memories with ones 40 years later.

    BTW-The one day admisision Sun. was $30.00
