Just as I was about to turn around, I heard a sound that assured me I was heading in the right direction the unmistaken roar of a top fuel big twin Harley Davidson drag bike engine. As 1 pulled into the hot, dusty parking lot of Famoso Raceway a familiar smell filled my nose and cleared my sinuses it was the smell of nitro fuel. I had made it to the S&S Cycle California Nationals, an All Harley Drag Racing Association sanctioned event. The races, held May 1 and 2, included 14 different classes of drag bikes ranging from street-legal motorcycles to top fuel customs that can only be ridden on a track. The most popular class with the hundreds of spectators was the top fuel dragsters capable of covering the quarter mile track in less than seven cc nn,ls old .1 top ,reCd ,,f 111,1T than 200 miles per boo?

Refreshments at the event came in the form of carnival-style food beer and various things on a stick.
