It was another awesome turnout in central California’s Eagle Field as they put on a great two-day event with some of the most bizarre and interesting race cars to go down the eighth-mile course at the old air field. Rocky n’ his Friends (that’s promoter Rocky Phillips) put on a fantastic show, led by his son Lee match racing New Zealander Paul Sattler in his Vindicator alcohol NE1 dragster.

If you like real nostalgia racing with each and every brand of American car included, Eagle Field is the perfect race. At least 200 street cars old and new and a wild bunch of real Gassers, Altereds, and dragsters were on hand too.
