This rare clip features footage of the 1973 IHRA Northern Nationals in Muncie, Ind. Watching this video will make one appreciate where track and drag racing safety is today. This nearly 10 minute video has Top Fuel racers Dick LaHaie, Paul Longenecker, Dale Funk, Pat Foster, Jim Paoli and Al Hanna.
I was there !!! still have my weekend PIT PASS !!!

Top stuff here! :)
The interesting thing is the difference 5 years made back then. Take '68 to '73 here for example.. A lot more different to '05-'10....
