Dave Wallace Jr. was there to see drag racing grow from the glory years, and then chronicle what he saw for decades to come. He never won a drag racing championship, nor did he field a drag racing team, but what he did in so many ways made him invaluable to growth of drag racing. 

Wallace was a writer and an editor, and absolutely one of the best the sport has had. Though he helped to usher in the golden age of drag racing journalism in printed magazines, he's also been around to watch the internet grow into a viable media source. 

This is a preview for an episode you don't want to miss from a man who was there from nearly the start.

Drag racing in Australia is a thing of beauty. Long after the race winners were presented, records reported and incidents chronicled, there remains hours and hours of footage. Leave it to our lead videographer Jake Simmons to study the footage and present angles and visuals we often take for granted. It's the Thunder 400 Winter Nationals at Willowbank Raceway, the largest national event drag race held outside of the United States, and its splendor.

J.D. Campbell has always wanted to tell his story, and today he gets his chance. He's no professional drag racer, nor is his race car at the top of the food chain of the straight-line sport. Campbell is a second-generation drag racer who followed in the footsteps of his father, and follows the inspiration to the letter of the law. Here's his story, we think you will enjoy hearing it as much as we've enjoyed bringing it.

Let the record reflect, one of the seven wonders of the world is Scott Palmer's Studezilla, essentially a Pro Modified car with a nitro-burning supercharged engine. After a much needed break from foul weather, Palmer made his way out to Tulsa Raceway Park for some testing with the volatile machine. Thanks to Sean Melton of Urban Hillbilly Videos for the video.

It's Funny Car Chaos, one of the hottest niche market series. In this Jake Simmons video for CompetitionPlusTV, check out Saturday, race day at the 2019 season-opener in Denton, Texas. It's an eight-mile event, but there's a lot of action crammed into a short distance.

Deaths in drag racing are always tough.

However, the 1996 loss of Blaine Johnson is as tough of a gut punch as drag racing has ever experienced.

Poised to add a Winston Top Fuel championship to the four titles he already had won in Top Alcohol Dragster, Johnson was on top of the straight-line world and atop the point standings when he crashed at the end of a record-setting qualifying run at the U.S. Nationals.
