Travel back to a time when IHRA was on its own for the first time since 1975, minus Winston/RJ Reynolds series sponsorship. Still, the big names ran with the Bristol, Tenn.-based series.

You'll see the legends battling it out for supremacy at the IHRA's flagship facility, Thunder Valley Dragway in Bristol.

We'd be remiss if we didn't make mention of the fact it was also an event where Buddy Ingersoll's V-6 Buick not only qualified for the Mountain Motor Pro Stock division, but also got his car regulated out of competition. You'll just have to see for yourself what transpired.

How about some obscure professional drag racing from the American Hot Rod Association? We have coverage fo the 1984 Grand American Series from U.S. 30 Dragway in Gary, Indiana. #ClassicDragRacing - https://t.co/821L0lSH5C pic.twitter.com/jyUlpBgEoZ

We've unearthed a rare video of the American Hot Rod Association's Grand American Series. Long before there was Route 66 Raceway there was U.S. 30 Drag Strip in Gary, Indiana. - https://t.co/3mQRReqlHG pic.twitter.com/8Qae4Nq2rL
