21st Annual California Hot Rod Reunion—Sunday
Sunday morning opened with sunshine and warm temperatures, which we enjoyed the entire weekend. The crowds ebbed just enough to allow a change of spectator hot rods in the Grove, as there were many not seen before; I was able to check out some of the vendor displays in depth, as there is always something new arriving in the competitive world of performance providers.
Spent some time in the top fuel and funny car pits as those that were still in the hunt were making final changes and warm-ups for the next round of eliminations; Les Mayhew, the man behind the NitroAmerica videos was seemingly in every pit, documenting the action of each team; if you’ve never viewed one of Les’ videos, you are missing out, as they are outstanding.
Spent the remainder of the day on the line, attempting to give you a view of the action, from the burnouts to the backups, gals to guys, launches, and even a few times and MPH shots on the ‘boards…hope you’ve enjoyed viewing this weekend of the 21st California Hot Rod Reunion as much as I have covering it…Sherm
