VIDEO FLASHBACK - 1980 NHRA WORLD FINALS

 

The fact it isn't considered one of the NHRA's top races ever is a head-scratcher. 

The 1980 NHRA World Finals was one of epic proportions in that two of the three professional divisions had their championships decided on the final run of the season, somewhat of a rarity in those days even though the season only had eight races. 

To our knowledge is was the first-ever NHRA event broadcast on the new NBC Sports variety show Sportsworld and featured the legendary Paul Page.

#LEGENDStheSERIES - THE LEGEND OF MIKE DUNN

 

He was the kid many watched grow up at the drag strip.

The kid, Mike Dunn, a winner in two professional categories, was a record-setting driver who took his career in the sport to a one-of-a-kind level.

Before he became a pro drag racer, he turned wrenches on those cars. He was a national event-winning driver in Top Fuel. Ditto behind the wheel of a Funny Car, with a ledger that includes a U.S. Nationals crown. He had top-five points finishes in both classes.

Dunn traded his firesuit for a business suit with a stint as an NHRA drag racing analyst on ESPN. He then set himself apart from others who reached those goals before him by serving a year-plus stint as the president of the rival IHRA.

The son of "Big" Jim Dunn, a nitro legend from the 1960s and 70s who remains a team owner and tuner, Dunn has been there, seen it all, done it all. Hear his unique perspective on where the sport has been, is and is heading in the Season 6 season opener of Legends: The Series.

CLASSIC VIDEO - SEVEN SECOND LOVE AFFAIR

 

Long before Rick Stewart flipped the switches at NHRA Drag Races as the official starter, he appeared in one of the more popular drag racing documentaries ever made.

Seven Second Love Affair was Les Blank’s first documentary/photography job shooting Drag Racers in Long Beach, CA, driving everything from hopped-up street stockers to supercharged dragsters.

In 1965 when the leading Top Fuel cars were stopping to the clocks at 220, this documentary follows the early days of Stewart as a drag racer trying his best to attain the world record.

This video was written and directed by Robert Abel with the music score by Canned Heat Blues Band.
