Nostalgia drag racing - pics from CHRR
« on: November 24, 2011, 07:21:16 AM »
If you like nostalgia racing, this is the biggest and best show around.
Here is a link to photos from the NHRA's Heritage Series 20th annual California Hot Rod Reunion from Fomosa (Bakersfield) this past October.
Nitro funny car was the quickest field ever - absolutely BRUTAL. 36 cars showed for the 16 car field. When was the last time the Big Show came close to this many???

All shot by Bob Snyder, aka CBX West.(He's got one with NO2) Check out his site for tons of other pics.

Even some shots of Arctic Thunder (the car I work on) in there.

Thanks for posting...Brings back memories of the old Detroit Dragway where I spent many weekends in the late 60's.

Very cool, I wish I had been there.
