Apparently, the All American Fuel Dragsters (a collective of front-motored Top Fuelers) have booked themselves into Rod & Kulture’s “Drag Fest,” to be held on May 1-3 at Famoso Raceway, north of Bakersfield.

During Drag Fest, the Top Fuel contingent will run in what is billed as the North Versus South Championship…

The booked-in entries are, from the North: Brendan Murray’s in his “Running Wild” machine, current points champion,  “Son of a Surfer” Adam Sorokin in Champion Speed Shop streamliner,  The “Birky Bunch” out of Santa Rosa,  Mike Fuller Motorsports, Rick Williamson, driving for Craig-Berger & Schartz

From the South, entries include Troy Green in the Highspeed Motorsports AA/FD, Mark Hyla and the Circuit Breaker, San Diego’s Rick White, Brad Thompson, and Terry Cox in  the Cheetah III….

News and rumors of “classic fuel altereds” and Nitro Funny Cars making laps at Drag Fest are also beginning to percolate….
