1986 NHRA Spring Nationals

From National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio, it is the 22nd renewal of the NHRA Spring Nationals, an event that first appeared on the calendar in 1964.



You will note, once again, there are two versions of the race broadcast, including a shorter version, and a longer, more detailed one.  Watch, in both versions, for a big crash and fire involving Australian nitro funny car driver, Gary Philips, who ends up in the front yard of a farmer’s house.
