AHRA WORLD FINALS 1987 Pt. 1/5

Watch if you like rare finds.

The AHRA World Finals had the distinction at one time of being the 2nd largest independent Drag Race (next to Bakersfield's March Meet.) in the 1980's. The 1987 edition was historic for many reason, and here it is, in its full glory. Thanks to you tube.

Rick Lukens takes care of the play by play for KXLY CH. 4 in Spokane Washington. Bud Nameck is the pit reporter.

Do a Google search for AHRA, a one-time major sanctioning body. Too bad they disappeared.
