CLASSIC VIDEO - 1972 UDRA SPRING NATIONALS, GREAT LAKES DRAGWAY

 

Car and Track, a popular series hosted by then famous race commentator Bud Lindemann, visited different forms of automobile racing, and when not covering NASCAR, often visited the drag races. In the early 1970s, when NHRA drag racing (before the Winston days) was seen on larger venues such as ABC's Wide World of Sports and sometimes CBS Sports Spectacular, there was a large gathering of events worthy of recognition.

This is where Car and Track stepped in. This time the syndicated show stopped in at Great Lakes Dragway for the 1972 UDRA Spring Nationals.

In this episode, you wont see all the Legends of the sport, but you will catch a few, and most of all get to see drag racing as it was back in the day.
