Show and Shine Behind the Grandstands

The grandstands stretch the length of the quarter-mile Auto Club Raceway at Famoso, near Bakersfield, California. Behind the grandstands is an area called The Grove. It’s a beautiful area filled with trees, each one is planted in memory of a special hot rodder who has passed away, and each has a plaque identifying for whom the tree was planted. At the 57th annual Good Vibrations Motorsports March Meet The Grove was filled with 150-plus beautiful show-and-shine cars that stretched the length of the track. The rat/vintage rodders occupied their usual spot at the end of the grandstands. The weather was perfect for a quarter-mile walk through the tree-lined Grove.

This chopped-top ’34 Ford three-window coupe is running a 502 Chevy crate motor. The owner is John Boswell of Bakersfield, CA.
A pair of Holleys feed the 1964 427 center oiler-powered ’64 Ford Galaxie 500. The Ford four-speed top loader keeps owners Bill and Steph Pratt of Bishop, CA. busy.

A (new) Hemi powers this very rare, steel, ’41 Willys Sedan Delivery. The owner is Mitch Townsend from Bakersfield, CA.

Danny Tubbs brought his clean, original ’70 Chevy Monte Carlo from Oxnard, CA.

Check out this very sharp Dodge-powered ’70 Dodger Charger R/T owned by Brian Frick of Bakersfield, CA.

Race Slayton of Bakersfield, CA has a cool car plaque to go with his very chopped ’49 Ford coupe.

This awesome, Gen I ’69 Chevy Camaro belongs to Randy Putnam from Bakersfield, CA.

The rat/vintage rodders occupied their usual spot at the end of the grandstands.
