It's a great weekend to be a race fan in Bakersfield. The 23rd annual Hot Rod Reunion draws crowds from all over the country, to Auto Club Famoso Raceway.
The three-day event features quarter-mile racing, a classic car show, vendors, and the world famous Cacklefest.
National Hot Rod Association Hall of Famer Ed Pink said, "If you're a racing buff and you follow the sport, you'll see every racing person you've ever heard of or knew of, here at this event. It probably pulls 25,000 to 30,000 people here, spectators. Each year it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and more people."
The event continues through Sunday. Single-day tickets are $25. Children 15 and under are free, as long as they're accompanied by paying adult.
