As part of our CompetitionPlus.com holiday tradition, we've searched the YouTube.com site for rare and entertaining videos to pass the time during your time away from work.

This video features the NBC Sportsworld coverage of the 1983 NHRA Summernationals in Englishtown, N.J. This two-part video clip features only Top Fuel action. The classic Connie Kalitta blowup, not only mechanically but humanly as well, makes this video clip a real treat.

Dwight Guild has a video page to die for if you're a fan of the classic stuff. His countless videos focusing on racing at Orange County International Raceway in Southern California has not only some of the finest footage from January 1980 and 1981, but also great sound.

"I shot many many hours of "home movie" style drag race video, primarily from OCIR, 1979 thru 1983," wrote Guild on his Youtube.com channel. "I decided to break down the videos into individual runs, and load them up for racers, their families, fans, and friends to enjoy. Aside from shooting tons of video over the years, I also served as a crew member or crew chief on various cars, including several of Hayden Proffitt's. Props to Hayden, my racing mentor, and Al Amato, my video mentor."

PART 2

This 41-year old video focuses on Mickey Thompson's classic 1969 Mustang Funny Car powered by a nitro-burning 427 SOHC Ford.

This five-and-half minute video is well worth the investment of your time.

According to noted drag racing historian Bret Kepner, this documentary is one of many repackaged Chrysler Corporation-produced drag racing films shot from 1963 - 1973 for rent through their dealerships. ESPN included these films in their Glory Days series, hosted by Dave Despain, which aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
