Three-time NHRA top fuel champion Larry Dixon Jr. never competed in a March Meet drag race, but he understood the importance of the event by the time he could spell March Meet.

CSU Bakersfield's baseball team had a players-only meeting prior to this weekend's series against the University of Portland.

Proving once more that the Bakersfield housing market is anything but predictable, home prices in the Bakersfield area fell last month even as supply contracted and demand surged.

The price of an existing single-family home in the Bakersfield area was $119,975 in February, according to the Preliminary Crabtree Report, a monthly guage of the local real estate market produced by Affiliated Appraisers. That's down 7.7 percent from January and down 4 percent from a year earlier.
