Always a good time at Famoso. Legendary track with plenty of good seating. I attended the Division 7 event as a spectator in early October. The staff was helpful and friendly. It was a hot day, so I asked if there was any inside parking available, as its always nice to take a break in the AC when it's as hot as it was. They asked that I just stayed out of the way and didn't block anyone in...lol. I was able to park in the Grove, right behind the bleacher I was sitting in. 👍Nice😀 The racing was great! Tons of cars and dragsters. Bikes too! Take a walk through the pits and ask questions, most will be glad to let you take a look and answer any questions you might have. Just be mindful of where you're standing and don't get in their way. The drag racing community is very family-friendly and a great place to take the kids.

Went there for the Nostalgia races. Great track, great feel of old school racing. A lot of cars. Food options were good. You didn't get your wallet cleaned out for a water, 2 -3 bucks for a water, the Chinese food was priced good and they gave you more than enough food. It's awesome they have stands all the way down to the finish line. The bigger tracks I've been to don't have stands that far down. Definitely a track to go to. I will be back.

Amazing first experience, everyone was friendly and happy. Top-notch racers and beautiful cars screaming down the strip. I'm definitely going to make this a reoccurring trip.

2023 Wally Parks Nostalgia Nationals - West Famoso Dragstrip - Bakersfield, CA Cackle Fest. variety of food vendors (swap meet, car parts, t-shirts, etc...) recomend especially children earplugs, mask, when they have the cackle and maybe some safety glasses, those fumes are harsh on your eyes. you'll be sitting awhile, so something comfy to sit on. Other than that freaking awesome!!!

Travelled from the UK to the Oct Hot Rod Reunion meeting and was pleasantly surprised with the organisation and size of the meeting. I used to do the timing at Santa Pod raceway in England and this meeting was like going back into the 1980's and earlier, it is amazing the quantity and quality of cars that ran and particularly enjoyed the Fuel Altered's that put on a hell of a show. If you want to see racing the way it used to be then you really should come here. If you can't take too much sun try and find a friendly person who may share their shade if asked nicely, the people almost all seemed to be part of the drag racing in one way or another, fantastic knowledge!

Loved this track. Very nice clean and well maintained. Also managed very well keeping everything flowing. The best audio system for the grand stands I have ever heard at a drag strip.
