CLASSIC VIDEO - 1980 NHRA FALLNATIONALS, SEATTLE, WA.

 

This might just be the most pure drag race coverage you've seen in a while. 

Produced by the group at Diamond P for the up and coming ESPN network during the 1980 season, sit back and watch 90 minutes of drag racing from the NHRA Fallnationals at Seattle International Raceway in Kent, Wash. 

You'll see the legends ... Raymond Beadle, Shirley Muldowney and Bob Glidden mixing it up with the likes of Dale Armstrong, Jeb Allen and Lee Shepherd. You'll also see three rounds of Pro Comp eliminator as well as the ultimate tortoise and the hare match between Terry Hoard's C/Modified Compact and Dave Hutchens' A/Gas Opel. 

The great voice of the late Steve Evans make this vintage broadcast a must-see video.
