Cars 16–19 were Birney Safety Cars, constructed by the American Car Company. They were originally built in 1922 for the Union Traction Company of Santa Cruz. The cars were acquired by Bakersfield in 1927. [1] The cars were constructed out of steel and rode on Brill 79 E1 trucks (single truck). They were 28 feet long and could carry 30 people.
The company was named the Bakersfield and Sumner Railroad and used horse drawn cars on 16-pound rails, which were previously used in a mine. The underlying ballast was substandard, and during heavy rain the cars would sink into the street or derail. The trek was through rural terrain, with little development.
Mini dwarf cars also ran on May 18, competing on the 1 ⁄ 8 mile (0.20 km) track. [6] In 2023, the track was given new ownership to Tim and Lisa Huddleston. With the new ownership, the track was renamed as Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, in honor of 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and Bakersfield native, Kevin Harvick. [7]
