My good friend Jim Young (Young Guns Nostalgia Top Fuel) has organized a qualifying shootout for the Nostalgia Top Fuel teams at the 2021 NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion. With NHRA's blessing, the NTF teams will combine their Q1 and Q2 ETs and the 2 lowest combined ETs will run in the last pair of the Q3 qualifying session for a cash purse of over $11,000. The purse for this race is made up of donations from sponsors, racers, fans, etc. The intent of this race is for everyone to remember the ones who contributed greatly to both the Nostalgia Top Fuel Fuel class and to the sport of drag racing in general. At the conclusion of top fuel qualifying, the winner will be presented with a plaque and the cash.
Jim put together a similar memorial race at the Holley National Hot Rod Reunion in memory of Joe Hendricks, a friend and mentor to many of the current and past Nostalgia Top Fuel teams. That Shoot-Out was won by Dan Horan Jr. over Jim Murphy for a purse of $2500.
Best of luck to all of the Nostalgia Top Fuel teams as they put their best efforts forward in competing for this substantial prize!
Let's hope this trend continues.
