(Photos by Zane McNary) – There’s no doubt that the hottest class in nostalgia drag racing is the Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car category. With more than 30 of these 5-second nitro swilling beasts on the ground of Bakersfield this past weekend, the fans and the viewers of BangShift’s live feed got one hell of a show! The cars came from all over North America and it wasn’t just the nitro class that had flopper action. Several of the classes at the reunion allow center steer funny cars so we saw them in 7.0 Pro and other places as well. There was a great variety of bodies, paint jobs, and performance levels.

Did anybody get a photo of Mike Lewis with all four tires off the ground at 800′ in the semi finals when he drove it threw for the win over Chad Head? Awsome job of driving when he went into a wheelie at half track!
I love that category of cars and these photos are cool.
