The IHRA sanctioned their first and last drag race in Charlotte during the 1974. While this video, originally broadcast on Speedvision, which is now Speed TV, showed good footage from the event, the horrific deaths of three people on Saturday of the event was not mentioned. The event was the first eighth-mile sanctioned national event on record and was contested on the pit road at what is now Lowe's Motor Speedway. Part 1 or 2 part video.

A full story on that first event can be found at CompetitionPlus.com

  • I was there. Finding this video was great. They pushed the fuel cars up the front dogleg to start them. We found the Chi Town Hustler crew at Amber House on Tryon street after the race on Sunday. We were too shy to go in and ask for autographs. What a great time in my life. Thanks for sharing this great video. 

  • Wow I caught part of this on Speed about 3 years ago! You got some rare footage there!!! Thanks for sharing!
