Check out this Chrysler-produced video in 1971, which explores not only the racing of the era but also the earliest roots of drag racing. With a cameo from ABC's Keith Jackson, the video takes on a strong base for the history of drag racing.

The video focuses on the development of the Hemi as well as drag tires. The evolvement of the full-bodied stock car. You'll see footage from the 1964 Winternationals, 1966 U.S. Nationals, 1967 Springnationals, 1968 NHRA U.S. Nationals, as well as the 1969 NHRA season. There's also some American Hot Rod Association coverage and a focus on Sox & Martin. The video is chock full of excitement.
