THE Inaugural CALIFORNIA CHAOS!
West Coast, this one’s for you! For the first time ever, the DMP Awnings Nitro Chaos series heads West to the one and only Famoso Dragstrip in Bakersfield, California for two days of true nitromethane burning chaos on Friday night and Saturday, September 27-28th, 2024. “California Chaos” will offer thirty two qualified spots for nitro burners of all kinds and guaranteed payouts of $55,000+ as the wildly popular Chaos brand created by Chris & Tera Graves joins forces with Blake Bowser and team Famoso for what will be a top attraction for West Coast racing fans next year.
The unique format and run whatcha’ brung formula has been a huge hit and demand for this concept has reached from coast to coast. West Coast, it’s your turn! This two day festival of horsepower will be open to any and all nitro burning machines with the motor in the front and contested on the eighth mile ‘outlaw’ style. There are no rules in regard to engine combination, body style, etc. Front engine dragsters, fuel altereds, funny cars and pro mods are all welcome to get in on the CHAOS. Additionally, ‘nostalgia’ style rear engine nitro dragsters will also be permitted to compete. All safety guidelines will be enforced and the only other ‘rule’ is, you must have a minimum of 80% nitromethane in the fuel tank.
Thirty-two cars will be offered a qualified spot in the main event after three qualifying sessions. In standard Chaos procedure, those qualified cars will be grouped into elimination fields of eight cars. The ‘A’ Field will include the quickest eight cars on the property, ‘B’ Field will feature qualifiers 9-16, ‘C’ Field 17-24 and ‘D’ Field 25-32. Over $55,000 in payouts are guaranteed and up for grabs across all thirty two qualified spots and four teams will hoist Nitro Chaos trophies at the end of the night as winners of their field.
