Kenny Bernstein was as responsible as any of drag racing's movers and shakers for taking the straight-line sport to the next level.
In this preview for the latest episode of Legends: The Series - Seas, you'll get a glimpse into the genius mind which propelled Bernstein from just an average drag racer to a champion and an even more talented marketing powerhouse.
If you love classic drag racing, then you are going to love this presentation of divisional racing from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. You'll see everything from gear-jamming class racing to nitro competition. If you listen very closely, the host sounds a lot like NHRA VP of Operations Graham Light, who used to run the track.
There was no Countdown to the Championship necessary to build excitement for the battle which took place the season someone stood up to what seemed like NHRA's Pro Stock bully.
The reality is, Bob Glidden was not a bully anywhere but behind the wheel of Pro Stocker. He was one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet but on the race track he pushed the competition around. In fact, once Glidden took over the NHRA Pro Stock point lead in 1978, he never relinquished it until January 1980 when a trio of Texans stepped up to say enough is enough.
Reher-Morrison-Shepherd proved to be this Superman's kryptonite. In this documentary style feature from CompetitionPlus.com, travel back to a season when Lee Shepherd raced the seemingly unbeatable at every race throughout the season, setting the stage for the final event. Hear the story from those who lived through this war, including an interview with the late Bob Glidden.
Rodger Brogdon isn't the first drag racer to make a '66 Chevy II wagon into a race car. Nor is he probably the first to build one for fast racing. What Brogdon has done which hasn't been done, at least to our knowledge, is to build one for fast Comp Eliminator racing.
In this video feature, Brogdon discusses the ins and outs of his B/Altered Automatic machine; the origin and near demise in a test session.
Sometimes the best laid plans on paper just don’t jibe with politics.
Buddy Ingersoll of Ziegler, Ill., knows that to be an accurate statement.
A little over 22-years ago, with the blessings of the IHRA’s tech department, Ingersoll began entering Pro Stock events with his turbocharged, 260-inch Buick Regal. This was fine until he leaned on the locals and started running quick in qualifying and even worse, started winning rounds.
Ingersoll reached the final round of the 1986 IHRA Fall Nationals in Bristol, Tenn., and afterwards found himself banished back to NHRA’s Competition eliminator. If it hadn’t been for a burned up clutch in the final round against Pro Stock icon Bob Glidden, he might have been tarred and feathered in the pits.
This classic YouTube video features the ESPN coverage of this event.
