Drag racing fans got to relive those memories at the 5th Annual Nitro Revival at Irwindale Speedway, where the pits were once again filled with the legendary cars of drivers and teams like Stone, Woods & Cook, Tommy Ivo, The Surfers, Kuhl & Olson, “Big John” Mazmanian, and many more.
With their metalflake paint and chrome shining under the California sun, these front-engine dragsters, vintage Funny Cars, and Fuel Altereds that once dominated the quarter-mile were all brought to Nitro Revival to share their stories.
