(Peter Liebig Photography) –<\/strong> <\/em>The recent California Hot Rod Reunion attracts a broad collection of hot rods and racecars, with one class of classic cars that always attracts a unique bunch. \u00a0A\/FX has a cool group of cars, some with altered wheelbase modifications and some that\u2019d truly fall into traditional Super Stock classes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A\/FX is a personal favorite competition class, running nine and ten second Elapsed Times, compared to the fuel cars, A\/FX is one of the slowest groups, but are some classic hot rods many spectators grew up with, the kind one could gleefully buy off from a neighborhood showroom floor.<\/p>\n

Number one qualifier was Brandon Clark in Jim Clark\u2019s \u201cHemi Express\u201d \u201971 Dodge Demon running 8.958 at 150.95 mph.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The class winner was San Diego\u2019s Jack Goodich, who wheeled his awesome full-sized, altered wheelbase, injected Hemi-powered \u201cOuter Limits\u201d \u201864 Plymouth Belvedere through five rounds of eliminations. Goodich, who has been racing his Mopar for a bunch of years, \u00a0took home the event winners trophy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ken Moreland in his \u201cWest Coast Hooker\u201d 468 cubic inch, \u201966 Chevelle fouled out in the final \u2013 handing the win to Goodich who ran a solid 9.977 ET at 133.61 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always great to see epic straight-axle cars in this class like Rich Wood\u2019s black \u201962 Chevy II from San Diego, who qualified fourth with a 9.416 at 135.14 MPH.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even big bodied cars like Paul Soliz\u2019 \u201961 Pontiac Ventura, sporting a 468 cubic inch big block Chevy made the field with a 10.479 at 128.46 MPH.<\/p>\n
