Diamond P was the greatest. Back in the day when you became a member of NHRA you got a years subscription to National Dragster, a Rule book, and the previous years review by Diamond P. Those were the days!!!

Best Year 1986 And 1993 In My Opinion NHRA Winston Drag Racing Series History ☺😎

Eddie Hill is the best Boat Drag Racing driver on water, before he switched to Top Fuel on tarmac in 1986.

Watching the superchargers jump off the engines makes the NHRA mandated blower straps a chuffing good idea when they bought them in.

29:54 Holy smok! The first Flip for Don Garlits

Mr Glidden garnered 5 championships in a row with old NASCAR BOSS 429s which ultimately led GM to put the final nail in the coffin of pro STOCK racing with the introduction of the DRCE. Bob will forever be the GOAT of PS

13:29 Bad crash for Bob Glidden. But he came back and broke the National Record in Summmernationals. With a time of 7.443 seconds.

5.40ET @ 272MPH - I wonder if they ever imagined that they’d be doing 3.49ET’s @ 300+MPH today.

You can’t compare the 5.40 to the 3.6 they run now as they went from 1320 to 1000 feet. The world record in 1000’ is 3.62 I don’t know where you got 3.49.
