Nhra Drag Review 1989 VHS - Description
Definitely the best NHRA drag racing review ever recorded. From the start at Pomona to the end of the series 18 events later, it's sheer brute power, stunning spectacle and nailbiting incidents all the way. With an $18 million dollar jackpot in prize money, the 89 Winston Championship series attracted a whole galaxy of drag racing superstars including Butch Leal, Frank Iacinio, Kenny Bernstein, Tom Hoover and the 'winningest' driver of the all, the legendary Bob Glidden who celebrated his 75th national event win during the season.
A massive crowd at Houston watched a great all-female duel between Shirley Muldowney and Lori Johns in which Muldowney's top-fueller became a ball of fire. Same thing happened to her again at Florida but she went on - in a blaze of glory - to beat her startled opponent. Although there are enough (non-fatal) incidents in this 2 hour epic to produce a couple of Havoc movies, the race action, the interviews and the in-car sequences are simply terrific. Destined to be an all-time great.
