For the 5th consecutive year, BangShift.com brings you FREE Live Streaming Video from the NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion. Watch dozens of nitro burning Funny Cars and Dragsters run down the famed 1320 at Famoso Raceway. Big thanks to sponsors AFCO, Jet Hot, S&W Racecars, and GearStar who have made it possible for us to bring you non-stop racing action all weekend, starting at 11am Friday. We’ll be working at getting our broadcast up and running early as usual, so check in early and we might surprise you.
We will also be cranking photo galleries from the huge car show, the pits, and some of the off-site cruises as well. Bookmark
this page, and send the URL to all your friends cause the FREE LIVE
broadcast will take place right here in this blog item!

This is awesome!! I can now finally watch real racing from Germany!
this race coverage is Great, Chad and Brian did a fantastic job. and Chad’s commercials were just like he worked for us could not have been better.
Thanks Guys!
Need to have a way to be able to forward through the coverage so you can find particular class. Was crewing for A/fuel and couldnt watch races, especialy since we kept blowin’ up!
Hi Guys. Just wondering if you have any information on a Vega funny car named ‘QUARTERFLASH’ I bought it and am trying to find the history. It now resides in South Australia.
