 RACE FUEL
Race fuel is available at the rack from M&M Fuels. M&M carries VP Racing brand of race fuels and they are open every event. |
| FOOD
Fuel will make the car go, but dont forget about the man. Famoso has an excellent concessions stand with all the fast/junk food you need to keep going. I'll have a menu up ASAP |
SOUVENIRS
You came all the way to the famous historical Famoso Raceway. Why not take a piece of it home with you? The souvenir stand has everything, from t-shirts, jackets, hats, posters, & key chains to just about anything else you can dream of. All of it top quality stuff. The one thing you don't want to skimp on is what people take home to remember you by. |
| PARKING
Famoso Raceway is blessed with vast amounts of parking area inside the gates and bunches more outside of 'em. |
CAMPING
Camping is available during most events at no charge. There are no hook-up at the track, but there is plenty of space, and Famoso is famous for some of the parties that go on after the racing stops! Please note that some events charge for over-night camping so check the fine print. |
| Bakersfield Area Airports |
| The Bakersfield area is serviced by several airports the major one being Meadows field (BFL) available on the Los Angeles sectional chart. Famoso Raceway is also fortunate to have a airport right next to the drag strip know as L73 Poso Kern County Airport. Poso is within easy walking distance of the racetrack. Below is the hard to find information on the airstrip. Please note that there is NO service available at the Poso airstrip, so make sure you fly in w/ enuf fuel to get you to Minter Field (MIT) in Shafter or Meadows field. |
