California Hot Rod Reunion XV - Part 3

By Robert Briggs

Yes, we had Funny Cars ... Chicago Style! Chris Krabill ended up on top of the very popular nostalgia Funny Cars.

With Jack Harris at the wheel Flathead Jack's beautiful twin nitro flathead set a national record at 176.57 mph.

Ron Bement's amazing hand made 1/4-scale fully functional Flathead!

Jr Fuel A's Kelly Craig had a super 0.009 light with a 7.238 sec 183.86 mph but it wasn't enough in Round One against Scott Parks' 0.042 6.935 sec 191.97 mph.

Jim Gonia in his wheelstanding Ford at the CHRR. There were plenty of nostalgia stockers. Great fun!

Two legends side by side to close out Cacklefest: Don Garlits and Chris Karamesines.

Rob Patten '63 Vette won with a hole shot against Brad Chafee in the Final Round of A/Gas.

The classic lines of The Old Timer AA/FD are simply beautiful.

A/Fuel Kin Bates beat his teammate Claude Lavoie in the Final Round. These two are fierce competitors.

Brendan Murry runs his old car in the new PRO7.0 class. Brendan chose the new 2 pushrod ARIAS Hemi Chevy engine. Its looks and runs great.
