The year was 1988, and NHRA was engaged in a full-scale war, the likes of which hadn't been seen since the IHRA became a formidable force in drag racing. Texas Motorplex owner Billy Meyer had just purchased the series from Larry Carrier and moved it to Waco, Texas, and likewise pulled his crown jewel of a race track out of the NHRA and put it in IHRA.
One of the staples of the IHRA schedule was rain, and so much so the IHRA actually was recognized as "it has rained again." The Super Nationals in Bradenton, Fla., was originally supposed to be the season-opener but because of rain, it fell in line behind Darlington, which had traditionally been the season opener.

Aw man I was at this race it was awesome! Still have Polaroids and newspaper clippings. I sure miss those pro stock dry hops. Although a lot has changed you can never deny this to be epic legendary drag racing at it's finest at DeSoto memorial dragstrip!🔥🔥🔥👊👍💯
Love the old commercials. No competition for Gwynn. Even the late 80s were better times than now.
How about this " old " commercial? See the vid " Lemons Wrapup--Road Atlanta '22 " on the channel " 24hoursoflemons " watch 23:46 to the end then, for context watch 3:25 to 4:06
All the thrill and excitement and just plain competition is gone from drag racing in general, i feel. Its a new generation of drag racers, and crews. Not many guys that have built this sport are left, or are not doing it anymore. Racing has and will always bee a rich mans sport. But thays all it seems that are racing now days, the rich man. Not the guys who started with a dream/vision and car to tune. Those days are gone
