GALLERY: May Summit Series Bracket Race at Famoso Dragstrip

The third Summit Series Bracket Race of the season rolled into Famoso Dragstrip in Bakersfield, California, over the weekend of May 24 and 25, bringing together a strong field of racers and fans for another round of intense bracket racing action. Drivers from across the region returned to the historic strip to chase points in the competitive series.

Alongside the main Summit Series event, the weekend also featured Junior Street, High School, and association racing, as well as test and tune sessions that gave racers a chance to fine-tune their setups.

Drag Illustrated contributing photographer Tom Macht was on-site once again, capturing all the high-speed moments from the storied Bakersfield facility.
