March Meet and Weather

BK:
Wife and I are considering going to the March Meet this year. I'm looking for some insite into what the weather tends to be like at that time of year. Also maybe where to or not to stay.

George:
I am also considering going to the March meet. I have been offered a ride from Central Illinois to Denver where we will meet up with a small group and then continue on to the racetrack. I have never been West of Denver. The 2000 mile road trip should be interesting. Also how would it compare to the HHRR at Bowling Green KY? Thanks. George

Brian : When I lived out there had the blessing to be able to head up there twice.  Cant speak to where to bed down as did not stay overnight there but can speak for the weather. In March its usually great by our standards of March but there is the possibility of it being a bit cool . Just have to plan the layer thing to be safe.
If you head out there and want to catch some scenery give me a call. There is lots to see within a couple hour drive. I like the natural beauty stuff being a princess and all. Lots of places to day hike. Historical. Love it there. If you wanted to drive a little further the possibilities are endless. We could sit down , just need to get my maps and notes out. Let me know.

I have booked rooms for my wife and myself again this year. We stay at a Best Western usually, and most are great. California Street has a lot of hotels, a friend always stays there . lots of restaurants nearby and he usually has no reservations.
 The weather has only been bad once,rained out a few years back.  the track has NO shade to speak of. some for the car show behind the stands but the trees are to short to help spectators. I usually wear shorts because to anyone from the east it is great weather.
 I would say the fall hot rod reunion is more like Bowling Green. March Meet seems more like a race. maybe teams have new parts and enthusiasm?  A lot less nostalgic but still a great place to meet people I only read about as a kid. 
 The swap meets usually great. Last fall there were at least 3 Donovans and a ton of other stuff for sale. Bring cash because what you want will likely be there.

One more thing, the track is north of Bakersfield about 20 miles or so . A car is

OOPS. A car is a must.
 I would like to meet up with any other forum users while there.    Thanks
