Eagle Field is a WWII U.S. Army Air Corps training facility, or used to be during the war. Today there is a small museum and a few military vehicles around the property. There are also a few vintage airplanes as well as you can see from the cover of our new DVD. Three years ago Rocky Phillips had an idea, to bring together other like minded hot rodders and recreate what was the norm back in the 50’s, racing on runways. Well, his idea spread like wild fire and now, three years later, thousands of people show up to race and watch what has become one of the most unique events in the world. The May event is spread over two days with the first day being called the Fresno Dragways and the second, Lions Drag Race. An homage if you will to those former tracks.
What has been called an outlaw racing event because it is done on a non NHRA sanctioned track, has become the place to run your vintage hot rod, muscle car or nostalgia front engined dragster. Running on the 8th mile runway, remember it’s a runway not a race track has its challenges, but that's what makes it fun right? For those of us who were not around in the 50’s and early 60’s to experience this first hand, this is the second best thing. This is a great opportunity to see, feel and smell the nitro, hi-octane fuel and burnt rubber in the air, at a truly historical location.
