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."

Dart constantly strives to make better products and to better meet the needs of the aftermarket industry.  This summer, those efforts will culminate in a new program that will bring big benefits to their dealers, engine builders and racers.

The Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in the posh Westside of Los Angeles will once again host the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Awards Ceremony, it was announced today by officials.

The 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Awards Ceremony will take place on Monday, Nov. 15 and will be broadcast on the Web at NHRA.com and NHRA’s YouTube home page beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 17. Last year, the full event was available to the fans via the Internet with considerable fan fare and success.

Perfectly situated on the fashionable Westside, adjacent to Beverly Hills, the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza sits on seven acres with 726 newly renovated spacious guestrooms and a world-class spa and fitness center, making the property a luxury resort hotel situated in the heart of the city.

At the beginning of the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, Kalitta Motorsports’ Conrad “Connie” Kalitta, team owner and drag racing legend, announced that he was putting Dave Grubnic behind the wheel of his Kalitta Air Top Fuel dragster to compete in at least one half of the 23-event schedule. Kalitta announced today that Grubnic and the Kalitta Air team will continue to compete and vie for a coveted spot in the NHRA Top Fuel Countdown to 1.
 
After competing in the first 14 events this season, Grubnic and the Kalitta Air team find themselves in 11th place in Full Throttle Top Fuel championship points, a mere six points away from being in the top ten. Only the top ten in points are eligible for the NHRA’s version of “playoffs”, the Countdown to 1, which begins at the prestigious Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis in early September, leaving only four events on the schedule to garner points for drag racing’s “post season”.

The all-new Quick Fuel Technology (QFT) Super Stock Racing (SSR) carburetor, a new cast-aluminum SSR carb, has been approved by the NHRA for use in Super Stock and Stock. The engineers at QFT designed the SSR carbs to the same dimensions and specs of the original counterparts and guidelines in the NHRA rulebook.

Jeff Arend is pretty proud of the safety equipment surrounding him when he straps into the Kalitta Motorsports DHL Funny Car. However, there’s one piece of equipment which is closest to his mind which makes him very comfortable.

When Arend says it’s on his mind, he means it literally.

Arend is just one of a few drivers using the Sparco Formula One-style helmet when he straps into his Funny Car.

Sportsman drag racer Kyle Cultrera believed winning was the only option for him as he competed in last weekend’s Super Comp competition at the NHRA Summit Nationals. The only issue for Cultrera; he’d never won a national event before.

He defeated John Taylor to score his first on Sunday afternoon.

Cultrera, the son of Jeg Coughlin Jr. crewman and past Modified/Competition eliminator ace Steve Cultrera, was en route from his shop in Elliot, Maine to the Norwalk, Ohio-based event when he received a phone call notifying him that friend/team co-owner Dave Macleod had lost his battle with prostate cancer.

It will be double the action, double the points, and double the purse money this weekend as the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts will hold two complete events during the AHRA Canadian Nitro Nationals at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario.
 
Rounds three and four of the six-race 2010 Quick 32 Sportsman Series season will be held at the fabled Kohler Road track, featuring the best in Top Dragster and Top Sportsman racing.
 

James Day, the 32-year old diverse nitro pilot from Orange, Calif. will return to the NHRA Nitro Funny Car ranks behind the wheel of John Lindsay’s “Impulse” Funny Car with the support of CleanBoost® PERFORMANCE MOTOR OILS at this year’s Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals.

Day, a second-generation driver, has worked his way from being a crew member for veteran Funny Car drivers Jack Wyatt, Jerry Toliver, Del Worsham, and Gary Densham to becoming one of the more diverse nitro-pilots in drag racing today. Recently Day has piloted the "LA HOOKER" and  “Holy Toledo” Nostalgia Nitro Funny Cars and “The Foothill Flyer” Nostalgia Top Fuel Dragster. Day’s last NHRA National Event appearance was behind the wheel of the DLS Motorsports Top Fuel Records sponsored flopper at the 2008 NHRA Winternationals and he is anxiously awaiting returning to the NHRA.

For their difference-making performance at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, Full Throttle Energy Drink saluted the Castrol GTX High Mileage Ford Mustang team as one of this week’s recipients of the NHRA Full Throttle Hard-Working Crew Award. Other winners included Larry Dixon’s Al-Anabi team in Top Fuel, Greg Anderson’s Summit backed Pro Stock team and Steve Johnson’s WyoTech Suzuki team.

“I have a great group of guys on my Castrol GTX High Mileage team and it is not just my team that can accept this award. All three of my teams including Robert’s Auto Club guys and Ashley’s Castrol GTX guys helped us throughout the day on Sunday. We win together and that is part of the One Ford approach we have here at John Force Racing. I want to thank Full Throttle for this award and for their support of all of NHRA drag racing,” said team owner John Force.
