1990 NHRA Supernationals

From Houston Raceway Park in Houston, Texas, here is the 1990 NHRA Supernationals.
Race number three of the 1990 NHRA Winston Drag Racing championship season.  ESPN Speedworld covers the action, and Dave McLelland and Steve Evans providing the play by play.  Sorry to say that the quality of the video isn’t the best.  Keep an eye out at the beginning of the telecast, for three major incidents, as Top Fuel pilots Jimmy Nix, and Connie Kalitta suffer devastating crashes, and emerge from them.  Kalitta had severe injuries and would be taken to the hospital.  His son, Scott Kalitta, also, grenades an engine in his nitro funny car.
