Take a trip back in time when the SUMMERS meant hot and fast drag racing at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. You'll see the dry hops of old and the legends including Jeb Allen, Dick LaHaie, Don Prudhomme, Billy Meyer and Pro Stock legends Bob Glidden and the late Lee Shepherd.
You'll even see the sportsman finals and a good look at the legendary Wayne County Opel A/Gasser. For some reason, the broadcast missed the Pro Comp final round.
Another great trip back in time with Diamond P producing the show for ABC's Wide World of Sports.
Travel back in time when the drag racing world had settled down following the upheaval of the Billy Meyer IHRA purchase and the war which had ensued. With the Texas Motorplex now back home at the NHRA, Houston Raceway Park provided Glendora with a formidable one-two LoneStar punch.
You will see a future champion score his first career NHRA national event victory.
The NHRA Springnationals, when held at National Trail Raceway just outside of Columbus, Ohio, is a throwback to the so-called good old days of drag racing. Outside of the horrible Doug Kerhulas crash, there is plenty to love about this video with the legends of drag racing.
You'll see the emergence of Mark Oswald in Funny Car as well as the dominance of Gary Beck in Top Fuel. The legendary Lee Shepherd is part of a star-studded Pro Stock program.
The 1985 Winston IHRA Drag Racing Series action was about as exciting as it could get. This traditional stop on the eight-race drag racing series in Rockingham, NC, brought all the action via its ESPN broadcasts produced by Masters Entertainment. In this era, the IHRA was heavy on the bodied cars was a 16-car field for Funny Cars and its exciting brand of Pro Stock featuring unlimited displacement engines.
This broadcast, one of four scheduled for the season, is chock full of action, whether it's the Pro Funny Car division or the Mountain Motor Pro Stockers. This event was the last for Dale Pulde's Miller Beer Trans-Am as it squares off against the veterans Don Prudhomme, Kenny Bernstein, and Billy Meyer.
During the final session round of qualifying at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, driver Alex Miladinovich’s Hot4Teacher Toyota Funny Car crossed the center line, slid sideways, and nosed hard into the wall before coming to a stop.
Miladinovich, of nearby Orange, Calif., exited the car under his own power and stood atop the car and saluted the crowd, perhaps his wife and crew members, to show he was unhurt.
His car suffered extensive nose and right-side damage.
It's a reverse angle for the Ron Capps Experience, this time he's on the other side of the microphone because now he's a team owner. Bobby Bennett interviews Ron about his new role as the bossman.
You'll learn more about Capps including his method for termination, and streaking. Yes, streaking.
