California Hot Rod Reunion Pics

Here's some pics from the 2009 California Hot Rod Reunion at Famoso drag strip (outside of Bakersfield). We usually try and do the whole 3-day event but were only there on Friday this year because we went to Fall Fling in Van Nuys on Saturday.
The CHRR is one of my favorite annual events. Fun to see all the nostalgia stuff - great friends, great memories, fun times and some good racing - new front-motored nostalgia Top Fuel cars running high 5-second ETs. Nostalgia funny cars.
There were 102 cars scheduled to be in the CackleFest on Saturday night.
Mostly Mopar pics (as it should be) but a sprinkling of others at the end.
Oh yeah, take a close look at the rat rod Chevy small block in the last photo for all the really great details - like the old cigar butt, glass fuse, and pine needles on the intake manifold - typical 'bow tie' detailing. LOL.
