March Meet 2008 Nostalgia Drag Racing Pictures
The 50th anniversary of the March Meet was a huge success, with 500 race cars and over 35,000 spectators attending the three-day event. During Sunday’s final round, Jack Harris drove his digger to a 5.568 at 263 mph, for the quickest run ever in a front-engine Top Fuel dragster. He went on to beat Brad Thompson in the Top Fuel final, with a 6.064 pass at 239.36 mph. This was the third March Meet title for Jack. Bucky Austin won the Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car title with a 5.836 at 243.63 mph pass. The March Meet race is primarily a nostalgia drag race, with a cacklefest, and lots of gassers and old-school race cars, but there are plenty of muscle cars running as well.
