2024 Good Vibrations March Meet

It's less than five weeks until one of the most iconic drag races on the planet fires up again at Famoso Dragstrip (McFarland, CA). The 66th annual version of the race, with continued support from Good Vibrations Motosports, will kick off the NHRA Heritage Racing Series for 2024. Racers are expected from all over North America and parts beyond. As always there will be some Canadian content with my (almost) neighbours in Saanich, the Island Nitro gang, with Phil Ruskowski driving, entered in Top Fuel.

Following a tour-de-force of running the full Heritage Series schedule in 2023, spending heaps of money, burning lots of fuel and unfortunately, lots of parts, the Island Nitro team will be at the March Meet as they plan to stay in the Top Ten after finishing in the #6 position last year. With just four races on the schedule this year, two at Famoso, one at Firebird Raceway (Eagle, ID) and one at Bowling Green (KY), the travel budget won't be as onerous, which might leave some extra money for the parts expenditures.

We've got to close today's update at this point as the webmaster is on the (slightly) disabled list with a badly bruised and strained right arm due to a very hard landing on an iced-over BBQ deck two weeks ago. It's going to be a while yet before we can sit here at the keyboard for any length of time.
