Drag Racing '89

[@navyman4]

OH SNAP!!!!!!!!! My father and I went to this when I was 14. I never realized Drag Racing was so popular. (no internet back then and we didn't have cable)

Bob Gliden is a legend in Pro Stock.

[@ekelundracing1970]

Yes. He rests in peace, but remains the legend with 85 wins in Pro Stock history.

[@sabercats8889]

Both Bruce Larson and Joe Amato have really taken the double victories for the team.

Shirley Muldowney earned her 18th Top Fuel victory, six years from her 1983 time. She was a Top Fuel legend. She won three World Champions and now she wins the Fall Nationals in the end.

[@moeddan85]

Speedy cars.

[@StFidjnr]

TF FC and PS champions did it wire to wire

1:11:26 what was that white stuff pained on eds front wheels

[@ekelundracing1970]

Probably nozzles for the wheel hose that was visible on the white rim.

[@brianiswrong]

A few teams thought white wheels would help the timing beams be more " kind" to them (not sure it did anything, but a trend was soon set for a little while)

[@edgarbeat2851]

On some vids the silver wheels are painted with shoe polish. I thought it was to reduce glare in the timing lights esp staging.

NOt to bash anyone's favorite driver but Bruce Larson...he comes across very creepy to me.

[@jeffreymayhew1735]

@Marcos A. Casillas Rivera I don't know if I'd go that specific...but creeps me out for whatever reason.
