While Chad mans the scaffolding high above the legendary drag strip at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California, our own Scott Liggett is snapping away with his camera to bring us great photos from the pits, the track and the Cacklefest! We’re going to break them up into batches of about a hundred photos each.
Scott’s shutter finger is going to be worn out by the time he’s done at Famoso. The race cars, cackle machines, and killer hot rods that show up are all BS worthy!

Chad, great coverage watched NFC on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There was some great cars running in all classes. Really enjoyed it.
Chad was an iron man and only came off that tower once a day. He was up on that tiny scaffolding tower the entire time. I had all the fun.
A BIG thank you to Chad & Brian from Chicago.
And an invite if your ever in town to come and hang out .
Want you to know I wasted two beautiful fall days in front of the computer because of your live feed at the CHRR. I loved every minute of it!!!!!
I really enjoyed the coverage since I was not able to attend the meet, I so do love watching the old cars and dragster from an old era that I have forgot about. it was diff great to see the old cars ,it brought back memories of long ago.
Can somebody give me the low-down on that ancient supercharged Chrysler Poly engine in that old roadster with the skinny wires in Gallery Two? Far-out!
Just curious if anyone knows who else was out there taking photos……looking for more Agas pics….
Great photos. Any way to see the rerun of the Cacklefest on Saturday nite. I was in the Dragster.
Thank You
Why no pictures of the Shirley Muldowney beautifuuly restored top fuel dragster was able to witness this first hand was looking forward to coverage on it.

The best show ever, I have was at the first one, and have gone 12 of 20. greatest show on earth last weekend!
chryco63, i most certainly can give you the low down on that roadster, those guys are good buddies of mine. Its a ’27 chrysler with the 318 poly from a ’66 satellite, and why not toss the ‘ol mccholloch on there?

p.s. Hot Rod Reunion was a blast, some of the most badass cars I have ever seen all in one place, and not just trailer queens, these guys run what they got. It was truly an experience.
