STORY TIME
The 1977 NHRA U.S. Nationals was one of the most legendary events in drag racing. Held at Indianapolis Raceway Park, it drew more than 119,000 spectators and delivered surprises in every category.

In Top Fuel, underdog Dennis Baca stunned everyone by beating reigning champion Richard Tharp. Don “The Snake” Prudhomme won his sixth Nationals title in Funny Car, while at 50 Don Nicholson defeated Bob Glidden in a Pro Stock final that thrilled the crowd. It was a weekend of milestones: Shirley Muldowney became the first woman to win an NHRA world championship, and Don Garlits became the first drag racer inducted into the Auto Racing Hall of Fame.

Crashes added drama: Dale Emery’s wreck ended his driving career, while Larry Lombardo’s violent fiery crash in Pro Stock left fans breathless.

That race closed the era of 32-car Pro fields and became one of the most celebrated Nationals ever, remembered for its heart, its history and its power. 🏁🔥

Story Time

🏁 Joe Amato: Top Fuel Legend 🚀

Joe Amato is one of the greatest drivers in NHRA drag racing history. From 1982 to 2000 he never dropped out of the Top 10 in the standings, an unmatched consistency over 19 seasons! 💪🏆

  • 5-time Top Fuel champion (1984, 1988, 1990–92)
  • 52 career wins (a record at the time)
  • First to break 260 mph (1984) and 280 mph (1987)
  • 99 final rounds

Amato was known not just for speed but for style: his cars often sported Snoopy, and his fanbase proudly called itself “Joe’s Army”. 💥

Off the track, he turned Keystone Automotive into an auto parts giant and served on the SEMA board. His charisma, his ease in front of the media and his sportsmanship made him a crowd favorite and the face of drag racing in the ’80s and ’90s. 🎤

1990 was his best season. The title fight with rival Gary Ormsby came down to the VERY LAST FINAL in Pomona. Both had racked up 6 wins that year (tying the NHRA record). In the deciding race, Ormsby red-lighted, and Amato flew to victory with a 4.93-second run, clinching his 3rd title and joining legends like Don Garlits. 🏁

That moment kicked off a streak of 3 straight titles, establishing Amato as a true drag racing icon. 💨🎖️

Inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (2004) and the International Motorsports Hall of Fame (2005).
