Drag Racing 1970. Split Second. NHRA World Finals at Amarillo Dragway 

Sponsored by Firestone, this Drag Racing classic from 1970 takes you to Amarillo Dragway and the NHRA World Finals in Amarillo, Texas. For a deeper understanding of the sport of Drag Racing, take a tour of the pits and the vehicles, safety gear, different classes, rules, and some wheel stand action shots of cars down the quarter mile. The giant Firestone Drag Slicks put the rubber to the asphalt. Don Gartlits rail, other drag racing classics as the camera roams the site. The film zero's in on Jim Thompson's Rod Shop, and the 1970 Dodge Challenger C Gasser that takes him to victory. Transferred from a very faded color 16mm film, some color correction added.
