You can't live in the past.

I can't say that today's drag racing doesn't compare with the racing from 30 years ago, cause today's cars and technology are awesome. But there was just something back then than is different from today. Maybe it was the beginning of Pro

Stock with the likes of Grumpy Jenkins, Bob Glidden, Dick Landy, Dyno Don Nickelson, Ronnie Sox that made it seem so special. I remember when a 9.000 in Pro Stock was really smoking down the track!

@superproprocombo It's actually the 2nd. The first Supernationals was held in 1970 and sponsored by Hot Wheels.
