Dates Set For NHRA’s Hot Rod Reunion

GLENDORA, Calif. – Officials from the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum have announced the 2021 Hot Rod Reunion schedule.

Unique among motorsports events, Hot Rod Reunion events honor some of the top names in hot rodding from the past and feature a fabulous array of drag cars, street rods and customs of the historic and present day hot rod eras.

The Holley National Hot Rod Reunion will be held June 17-19 at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Ky., while the California Hot Rod Reunion will be held Oct. 22-24 at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif.

The Hot Rod Reunions are a series of events produced by the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum.

“These events are part of the museum’s ‘living history’ philosophy, which works to bring to life the sights, sounds, and people who made history in the early days of drag racing, land speed racing, and the golden age of American car culture,” said executive director Martin Betz.

The 18th annual Holley National Hot Rod Reunion presented by AAA Insurance will again be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Father’s Day weekend in the heart of Hot Rodding in Kentucky. The event will feature the finest classic American hot rods; quarter-mile nostalgia drag racing; and nitro burning Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars. The event will take place June 17-19.

The 29th annual California Hot Rod Reunion presented by Automobile Club of Southern California also provides drag racing fans with quarter-mile nostalgia nitro racing, cacklefests, and a full display of California hot rod culture. The tradition-rich three-day event brings out racing legends and heroes of the sport. The event will take place Oct. 22-24.

Proceeds from the Hot Rod Reunion events benefit the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum.
