Three days. Seventeen classes. And enough nitro to shake Famoso.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0California Hot Rod Reunion, presented by Good Vibrations Motorsports and featuring Nitro Revival, roars back to\u00a0Famoso Dragstrip October 23\u201325, 2026, bringing three days of racing, history and horsepower to one of the most legendary dragstrips in the country.<\/p>\n

And yes \u2014\u00a0THE NITRO CARS ARE COMING!<\/p>\n

Nitro-burning\u00a0Top Fuel Dragsters, Funny Cars and AA\/Fuel Altereds\u00a0will headline the weekend, filling the Famoso air with header flames, pounding horsepower and the unmistakable sound and smell of nitromethane.<\/p>\n

But the Reunion is bringing a whole lot more than nitro.<\/p>\n

A total of\u00a017 different drag racing classes\u00a0will hit the historic Famoso quarter-mile, with everything from door slammers and gassers to altereds and classic machines representing generations of drag racing.<\/p>\n

Pro Modified\u00a0returns with the West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association bringing big horsepower and wild doorslammer action. The weekend will also feature\u00a0NHRA Heritage Series Group 1 and Group 2 competition, along with the always-popular\u00a0A\/FX\u00a0machines.<\/p>\n

After a successful debut at the 2025 Reunion, the\u00a0California Independent Funny Car Association (CIFCA)\u00a0returns for another round at Famoso.<\/p>\n

And keep your eyes pointed toward the sky when the\u00a0Outlaw Gasser Association\u00a0rolls into the water box. Expect smoky burnouts, wheels in the air and plenty of old-school attitude when the gassers come to life.<\/p>\n

The California Hot Rod Reunion isn\u2019t just a race \u2014 it\u2019s a weekend celebrating the cars, people and history that helped build drag racing.<\/p>\n

Every event ticket is an\u00a0ALL-ACCESS PASS, giving fans access to the\u00a0pits, Car Show, Vendor Midway and Swap Meet. Walk among the race cars, meet the racers, dig through the swap meet and experience the sights, sounds and history of hot rodding and drag racing up close.<\/p>\n

October 23\u201325, the past isn\u2019t sitting in a museum.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s burning nitro at Famoso Dragstrip.<\/p>\n
