1975 NHRA WINTERNATIONALS, POMONA, CA.

I remember watching this on a B&W TV in '75 glued to the screen afraid to miss even a second.

[@Hoffas_beneficiary]

Always enjoyed Chris Economaki's commentator coverages of 1970s/early 80s Drag racing !

[@royavery6949]

Prudhomme and Garlits. Drag Racing Gods

[@richardlawton1023]

I remember watching this on Tv back then. Thanks for loading it.

[@ronmerkle3696]

I was there! One of my first national events I went to as a spectator, loved it and still have the 68 firebird I bought that year. Still racing it now.

[@jimcurt99]

Always love watching the legends- nitro drag racing is amazing

[@jerrycraig6522]

Cuz, drag racing IS faaar out!!!

[@davem6685]

Chris Econamackie had the best voice for drag racing coverage. Pro stock cars have a great rake.

[@burningblue1254]

Sorry, Steve Evans was the best. Far more knowledgeable and articulate than Chris.

[@jerrytee2688]

Come on, while Economacki was ok covering other forms of "motor sporting" drag racing had Steve Evans, Dave McClellan, Bret Kepner, Bob Frey and others. Next to them he sounded like a geek.

[@burningblue1254]

@@jerrytee2688 and don't forget Brock Yates. Economackie was light on drag racing. The guys you mentioned were the seasoned pros.

[@jerrytee2688]

@@burningblue1254 Yes, forgot about Brock Yates.

@@davem6685 Oh yeah, no doubt. Aren't those memories great? It's like hearing Ken Squire at the Daytona 500.👍

This is Cool.Thanks.Cheers from Oz.👍🍻🦘

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!

[@ianhawkins3687]

Killer upload! Had never seen this one. Poor Mike Miller really didn’t know what else to say with Chris holding that mic in his face for so long lol

[@Red-rl1xx]

Really cool! I've got the 1/16 scale model of the Green Elephant that came out a year or so ago.

[@sidforbrains6552]

The music goes so well with polyester and bad hair cuts....thanks for posting this vid

[@snopunk2]

So killer!! I was there for Friday qualifying as a 5 yr old…when Hindsight flipped over backwards!

[@richardmountz3865]

Ahhhh. More gold dust from CPTV.. Thanks guys..

[@redriverraider]

Brilliant! Loved waited through 2 hours of skiing or figure skating on the Wide World of Sports for the 10 minutes of drag racing coverage!

[@burningblue1254]

Always good to see Bob Glidden taking the win and the championship in 1975.

[@strangemagic2914]

Don Prudhomme casually smoking a cigarette and nobody cares - those were the good "ol days.

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

The good ol' days that led to cancer for more than just the smoker!! Yeah, great stuff!!

[@strangemagic2914]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

[@mwrcrft]

The Late John Lingenfelter won the Super Stock race..awesome

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@TanDawg58]

Never knew Economaki was a drag racing commentator. Always have associated him with NASCAR.

[@bigharrykochenbauls4567]

Nice one 👌

[@joen5332]

Just think today's top fuel cars are running 100 mph faster in a shorter distance

[@cschoen100]

Did Chris just say it was "nitroglycerin" coming out of Miller's car?

[@jerrytee2688]

You would've thought someone could've said "Hey Chris it's Prudomme not "Pradom".

[@patrickharper9297]

That’s a good one

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

I guess Chris couldn't take a hint that Mike was done talking and wasn't interested in more. Mike actually looked a little disgusted to be honest.

[@mbp7060]

Was the snake smoking while he was racing?

Back when cars were cars, men were men, and women were women.

[@whytebearconcepts]

Mike Miller looks like he should be a keyboardist in a 60's rock band.
