Steven Densham – who is son to legendary NHRA Funny Car drag racer Gary Densham — was the big winner in the Nitro Nostalgia Funny Car class during the infamous annual “March Meet”…… 

Driving his “Teacher’s Pet” Chevy Camaro-bodied car, Densham earned the victory in the Good Vibrations-sponsored category, defeating a very large field of cars during the event held at Auto Club Famosa Raceway north of Bakersfield.

In the final round the Oceanside, CA based driver defeated the Dodge-bodied car raced by James Day – the 2014 March Meet event champion.
