The famous movie line says, ” If you build it, they will come, and Famoso Dragstrip proves that mantra true every year with the Good Vibrations March Meet. The 68th installment hits the track March 5-8, 2026, and it promises to be a massive celebration of speed that goes far beyond a standard race weekend. Famoso is globally recognized as a proving ground for legendary performances, so the anticipation for this four-day festival is already building among gearheads.
Event promoter Blake Bowser sees this gathering as a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between generations. He believes the event allows old fans to relive distant memories while simultaneously exposing new fans to the visual artistry of drag racing history. Bowser noted that people from all over the world share stories about the venue, which motivates the team to honor that legacy while encouraging visitors to look up from their phones and truly experience the moment.
The visual experience extends well beyond the strip thanks to a spectacular car show that welcomes vehicles from every era. While the show features everything from modern rides to vintage classics, there is a special incentive for the old-school crowd. Participants can usually show off their prized vehicles for a fee, but owners of Pre-72 models can roll into the car show for free for the full event or just a single day. This ensures the grounds are packed with mint condition muscle cars and roadsters that create the time machine atmosphere Bowser loves.
On the track, the intensity ramps up after days of qualifying lead into the final eliminations on Sunday, March 8. Racers will battle for one of the most historic trophies in the sport as Nitro Funny Cars and Top Fuel dragsters shake the ground. Gates open at 8 a.m. daily for fans who want to catch every second of the action, including the Fuel Altereds and swap meet treasures. It creates the perfect weekend for anyone who loves high horsepower, making the Good Vibrations March Meet the ultimate destination for car culture enthusiasts this season.
