(Photos by Wes Allison) This past weekend was the California Hot Rod Reunion, one of the two biggest Nostalgia Drag Races in the country, held at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield and we’ve got all kinds of awesome photos thanks to Wes Allison. He was on hand to shoot all the racing action, so we’ve got a bunch of different photo galleries. If you want to see all the wheels up Door Car action you can handle, we’ve got that. If you want nothing but Dragsters and Altereds, we’ve got that too. And if you think nothing says Nostalgia Drag Racing like Funny Cars, then you’ll love what we have in store for you. But if you love the car show that is held in the famed Grove at Famoso, you’ll be glad to know we’ve got those photos too!
Here is our second gallery, which is nothing but wheels up Door Cars for you to enjoy. This is also the last NHRA Heritage Series event of the year, so Champions were crowned and the racing was super hot and heavy all weekend. Check out all the action photos this week, starting with the gallery below.

With all the media avenues the NHRA has at it’s disposal, they seem to be in no hurry to exercise any of them, to post the season ending points totals for the Heritage Series. I know that an old geezer in his ’63 Plymouth (or whatever) isn’t bringing the flash or money that the nitro cars will bring to ‘Vegas this weekend. But the folks in the office at Pomona (Museum) or Glendora, could have a little respect for the families who stuck with the series, and played for the whole year. It can’t be that difficult to recognize them with a simple list.
Does anyone have a season-ending points total – and the names of the champions – in all of the Heritage classes?
