The March Meet is an independent drag race held at Famoso Raceway, a dragstrip located approximately ten miles north of Bakersfield, California.
In 1962 Don Prudhomme gained national notoriety and became a touring professional after he defeated the Gotelli Speed Shop for Top Eliminator.
In 1965, Garlits won Top Fuel that year, and has more than avenged his initial embarrassment, ultimately winning the March Meet an unprecedented five times.
The now-defunct Nostalgia Drag Racing Association began promoting the March Meet, but failed to attract enough competitors or spectators to remain viable.
By 2007, the Goodguys VRA had relinquished its claim on producing the March Meet, with the rights assumed by John and Blake Bowser, who lease Famoso Raceway from the National Hot Rod Association.
