Maybe you’re the lucky one who got out of Christmas shopping, whatever the case may be we have a special video treat for you. We found these Diamond P gems on You Tube featuring the 1979 NHRA World Finals at the old Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario, Ca.

 

There are some classic names on these videos such as “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, Don Prudhomme, Raymond Beadle, Bob Glidden, Frank Iaconio and more. Featured today are the first rounds of Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock as well as the sportsman final rounds.

 

Witness Rob Bruins crowned the NHRA Top Fuel champion over Kelly Brown and Beadle clinching the Funny Car crown breaking Prudhomme’s streak of four championships. 

 

Oh Yeah, you have to see that up and coming John Force — he’s a hoot.

 

Happy Thanksgiving.
