With all the players in ready
to go, the signature event of the night proceeded to fill the
Beech Bend air with nitro. Because of the much lower car count
here, unlike the upcoming California Hot Rod Reunion, the self
start cars partook in the Saturday night Cacklefest. In Bakersfield
they will do their fire-up on Sunday.
The legendary Roland Leong prepares
to lead off the program firing his Hawaiian with Larry Reyes
in the seat.
The first push start fuel car
down was the Hilton's AA/FA and they just kept on commin'.
Ron Johnson with his
two "drivers" Walt Stevens and Howard Haight.
Steve Gibbs feeling very
good about the fact they had an incident free night.
The fans emptied the
stands and covered the track to see the cars and drivers.
Next stop Bakersfield!
