FINALS FOTOS

We figure that by this time of year any serious fan of NHRA drag racing has already gotten all of the stats about the World Finals from a variety of sources so we opted for a photo page. We sent DRO photographer Tim Marshall to the race with the assignment to shoot things we wouldn't see in National Dragster. We hope you enjoy his work.

Kenny Bernstein came out on top of one of the closest World Championship points races in recent history. He had to go to the semi-finals of the last race of the season before he froze Don Prudhomme's driver Larry Dixon out of any mathematical chance of winning the last Winston World Championship for Top Fuel. Bernstein is the only driver in drag racing history to win World Championships in both Top Fuel and Fuel Funny car.

Next year will be the likeable Texan's last in the seat. At Pomona he announced his last season would be called the "Forever Red" tour.

New York racer John Nobile went from being sponsored by Mopar to being off the deal. Nevertheless, DRO likes his New York skyline, flag and paint.
