Travel back to the days of Norwalk Raceway Park, one of the Crown Jewels of blue-collar drag strips. This race is the 1989 IHRA World Finals, the then Bristol, Tennessee's series answer to the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. The big names were still running the circuit, along with a few up and comers.
Fix, Flip, Fuel, the reality/documentary chronicling days in the life of Justin Ashley, rookie Top Fuel driver, and real estate developer in the fix and flip business, has a second episode for viewing.
"I'm excited for the drag racing community to ride along with me in my road to becoming a professional drag racer, and also see the world of fixing and flipping homes," Ashley said. "Both are exciting and challenging in their own ways. We definitely had some drama, even fire. You’ll have to watch the episode to see if the fire was in a house, at the track or both!”
We lost Bill Doner in August 2019, but through our archives at Storytellers his memory lives on.
Doner is drag racing's best storyteller, hands down. The legendary promoter of the 1970s, all but controlled Funny Car racing on the west coast and as Gary Densham once said, "If you wanted to match race a Funny Car on the west coast, you had to go through him because he owned the whole west coast."
Drag racing's premiere Funny Car racers Don Prudhomme and Jungle Jim Liberman knew this all too well.
With this said, this is one story you do not want to miss.
Take a journey back in time when Funny Cars still looked like real cars, Pro Stockers did dry hops and sportsman racing was included in the professional television show. The Mizlou Sports Group published this television broadcast of the 1983 IHRA Spring Nationals in Bristol, Tenn. You'll see Gary Beck, Scott Kalitta, Raymond Beadle, Al Segrini, Lee Shepherd and Rickie Smith. Best of all, you'll get to witness drivers taking the famed Bristol dogleg.
With Orange County International Raceway closed for good, the NHRA Winston World Finals settled into third home in five seasons at the Fairplex in Pomona. All the stars are there including Big Daddy, Gary Beck, Frank Hawley, Don Prudhomme, Lee Shepherd, Bob Glidden and Frank Iaconio.
Travel back in time to an era where drag racing was just starting to grow in a corporate direction. See drag racing legends such as Shirley Muldowney, Jerry Ruth, Kenny Bernstein, Bob Glidden and Frank Hawley. View this ABC's Wide World of Sports broadcast and a different kind of presentation.
A new series from the NHRA Motorsports Museum hosted by Jack Beckman and curator Greg Sharp discuss the early years of the drag racing movement. In this episode, Jack and Greg discuss Art Chrisman's famous No. 25 machine.
We love the glory days of the 50 pound flywheel-equipped Modified cars. For some of us, it sealed our love of drag racing. Our buddy Randy Snoddy carried the small-block, stick-shift combo right up until the final death of Modified eliminator in IHRA. Here's your ray of sunshine to start the day.
Thanks to our coverage partners at DragStory.com and Mark Walter, we present to you the live video feed from the 11th annual Yellow Bullet Nationals from Cecil County Dragway in Maryland.
The event was canceled by the pandemic last fall, and promoter Monty Mihko promised, if at all possible, he would run the race in the spring of 2021. Well he and Jim Halsey have kept their word and once again we get to enjoy some of the best heads-up racing on the planet.
