Drag racing in the 1970s was a much simpler life. And when it came to sportsman drag racing, the options were limited on the national event scene. Take for instance, in the NHRA there was only one heads-up eliminator.
Every other class, from Stock to Competition Eliminator had regulations from classifying its competition based on a pounds per cubic inch basis to factory horsepower ratings.
The sportsman eliminators in the 1970s, long before there were drag racing schools and racers buying rides, an aspiring professional racer would work their way up the ranks. In this compilation of televised NHRA drag racing, you'll see some of the legends before they made their mark on the big stage.
It's a lengthy view,

Wasn't born yet but this has to be the golden age of drag racing. No BS just balls out racing.

As an old C/Gas, B/MP and B/Altered (and later, Pro Stock) racer from the 70"s, this is tonic for my heart. Back then, competitive racing was available to anyone and was a helluva lot more fun!

I miss those great days of racing! I went to the US NATIONALS for many years, the first was either '70 or '71. Watching some of the greatest legends of drag racing, far too many to count that are no longer with us! Being a Ford fan for over 50 years, I remember the joy it brought me,to see them win! From the stockers all the way to later on,the Ford powered FC & TF! "Ohio" George, Jim Waldo, Jim? Van Cleve,Bruce,Kurt Neighbors. I think his last name was Williams & his 6 cylinder altered! Last but certainly not least, the greats of P/S,"Dyno" Glidden, "Grumpy", Sox & so many others! Damn I miss them so much!

First year at Indy was 1963. I still have a $2 pit pass from that first year. After the gas coupe & sedan classes came modified eliminator, which I greatly miss to this day, and I’m 79 years old! Never will NHRA top that old modified production class! Never ever!!

@nashvillecop1 I was 10 in '63. At 17 was my first, so '70 was my first of many years attending this great race.

Dang it CPTV.....how the hell you expect a guy to get any work done in the shop, when you keep posting videos like this one??? I mean really....considering my first drag race attended was in 1964, Irwindale Raceway, in So Cal. Love the nitro, especially AA/FA's, but a huge part of "The Show" was the larger contingent of Sportsman racers. Just in the first few minutes of film....ALL those names were familiar to me. I've mostly spent my racing time in the Sportsman ranks, a fact I'm proud of to this day. Thank you so very much, for honoring these classes, racers and families, by putting together this film for all to enjoy ✌😎

Whenever I go to a drag race I spend most of my time in the sportsman pits. The pro cars are all the same. It's the sportsman classes that have the interesting variety of machinery.

@ 27:30, I sure do miss 330-foot under power Alcohol Funny Car burnouts! With today's clutch setups and tire compounds, I understand why those are no longer necessary but, I still miss it!!!

Awesome video before computers ruined drag racing. Sportsman racing class racing at its peak here. Modified is still by far the best class in drag racing. Nothing like high winding small block Corvettes and Camaros
