Storytellers, the entertaining series created by the producers of Legends: The Series, allows drag racing's legends to tell their stories of the good old days for drag racing.

Anytime you combine an eighteen-wheeler, fried chicken and wheelstands in a story, it's bound to be a winner. This is the story of how Jeff Taylor, fresh off of an NHRA World Championship, took his Super Stocker to a local drag strip and made off like a bandit, literally.

An enterprising track owner took advantage of having the local superstar on hand to boost sales and put on a show in one fell swoop. Taylor was all too willing to oblige.

This is one of the last Mile High Nationals before the facility closed at the end of 1987 for a major overhaul.

Eddie Hill enjoyed one of his best national event outings by defeating Gary Ormsby, Shirley Muldowney, and Joe Amato to meet Larry Minor in the final round of Top Fuel. Unfortunately for Hill, he was unable to back up after his burnout due to a broken reverser and couldn’t make a pass, handing the title to Minor.

The honest truth is this video while it does cover the 1971 Winternationals in Pomona, Ca., is largely comprised of historical clips from where drag racing had come from up to this point.

"This point" will forever be known as the event where Don Garlits unveiled his new rear-engine dragster in NHRA competition. The unveiling was secondary only to the point he proved he could make it work and create a safer environment for Top Fuel racing.

Butch Maas was the king in the new Funny Car division, enabling team owner Roland Leong to score his second consecutive Winters title.

Legendary Pro Stock driver Ronnie Sox continued to show his dominance as showcased in this Chrysler Corporation inspired coverage hosted by ABC's Keith Jackson.

Storytellers, the entertaining series created by the producers of Legends: The Series, allows drag racing's legends to tell their stories of the good old days for drag racing.

In 1998, Scotty Cannon was on top of the Pro Modified world. The former bracket racer turned doorslammer icon had just completed his sixth IHRA world championship when a gentleman approached him during the final race of the season in Shreveport, La.

Storytellers, the popular drag racing videos telling of days gone by, returns with another episode; this one told by Bill Bader Jr.

In this video, Bader the second-generation drag strip promoter extraordinaire, tells of the time he and his track pyrotechnics specialist got the idea to use a Cremora bomb (yes, the coffee creamer) to enhance the show. What transpired was a moment of fear and awesomeness. We'll let Bill tell the story, but man, what a mushroom cloud it delivered!

Memorial Day used to be reserved for Moose's place, State Capitol Dragway outside of Baton Rouge, La., where the legends of drag racing would gather for the NHRA Cajun Nationals.

In this visit back to the good old days, you'll see the legends Shirley Muldowney, Don Prudhomme, Raymond Beadle, Lee Shepherd, or in this event an up and coming Top Fuel driver named Mark Oswald.

This is the famous fuel Funny Car boycott event. You'll see the full rounds of eliminations from Top Fuel and Pro Stock. Even though this event stinks for the AA/FC fans, there are plenty of legends to watch in this 30-minute video. You'll see the legendary Bob Glidden and Lee Shepherd rivarly, that's a given. You'll see cameo appearances by Frank Iaconio, Pat Musi and Andy Mannarino. Top Fuel has Jeb Allen and Gary Beck, but you'll also see Richard Tharp, David Pace and Jody Smart.

Travel back in time to an era when John Force was trying to find his place in a drag racing world. This gem was filmed in Spokane, Wash., at the ADRA World Finals in the latter years of the old American Hot Rod Association. It was part of the syndicated Pro Drag Superstars series.

Go back to the last days of the cackle and dry hops.
