Another stellar group of Honorees have been chosen for the 17th annual California Hot Rod Reunion, presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California. The 3-day festival of speed and rods takes place at Auto Club Famoso Raceway near Bakersfield, Oct. 10-12.
The Honorees are Grand Marshal Junior Thompson, Steve Davis, John Edmunds, Georgia Seipel, Walt Rhoades and Butch Maas. The Justice Brothers Reunion Spotlight will shine on Gas Ronda.
This years Honorees are a highly eclectic group of deserving individuals who have dedicated their lives to hot rodding and drag racing, said Greg Sharp, curator of the nonprofit Wally Parks NHRA motorsports Museum, which produces the Reunion. Im glad we can honor folks like this who have meant so much to the sport.

Steve Davis: An incredible craftsman who restored the legendary Greer, Black and Prudhomme fuel dragster, as well as Art Chrismans famed #25 dragster. He honed his craft while working with the legendary Tom Hannah and Lil John Buttera. He drove Junior Fueler dragsters, owned a CRA Championship winning sprint car and is the lucky driver that gets to be in the seat of the Greer, Black and Prudhomme car during Cacklefests.
John Edmunds
John Edmunds: Hails from Fresno, Calif. and raced throughout the 1960s as The Black Knight. During one period, he drove his 240 mph Bonneville Studebaker, Tony Waters Top Fuel dragster and a Blown Fuel Hydro drag boat all at the same time.
