CLASSIC VIDEO - 1987 IHRA SPRING NATIONALS, BRISTOL, TENN.
This is the last big IHRA Spring Nationals event with Larry Carrier as president of the sanctioning body.
Travel back to a time when the drag strip was carved out of the middle of the Tennessee mountains, and was known as Thunder Valley.
You'll see fuel Funny Cars, including a speed frenzied Mike Dunn behind the wheel of Joe Pisano's beautiful Oldsmobile Funny Car. Plus there are the mountain motor Pro Stocks.
How about some obscure professional drag racing from the American Hot Rod Association? We have coverage fo the 1984 Grand American Series from U.S. 30 Dragway in Gary, Indiana. #ClassicDragRacing - https://t.co/821L0lSH5C pic.twitter.com/jyUlpBgEoZ

Only three times since the introduction of NHRA Pro Stock in 1970, has the factory hot rod division been overhauled. Our team at CompetitionPlusTV has compiled a season in review of 1982, the first year of 500-inch. #ClassicDragRacing - https://t.co/CjWVyk7b5B pic.twitter.com/7SbdarYCt8
