Back here now one week after the passing of the greatest race announcer to ever grace a hot mic RIP Big Mac, for you are Legend 🙏 🎤 #GOAT

When Dave McClelland says Lee Shepard and Bob Glidden's name the hair stands up.

Miss Pat Garlitz looking very young in 1984. Rest in peace Mam!. Got her and Big's autograph on the same sheet in 1985 at a SuperShops? meet and greet/ fund raiser thing. She laughed about it, Big smiled and said, "thank you".

I WAS AT THIS RACE . I'M FROM COLUMBUS OHIO . GREAT TO SEE JIM HEAD GET HIS FIRST WIN IN FUNNY CAR . PLUS TO SEE BIG DADDY GET HIS 6th AT INDY . A GREAT WEEKEND THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET .

The background music is so 1984! I love it

I think this was the race where he took the dragster out of the museum to race at Indy.

I find myself rather watching these 37-year-old drag races than 2022 drag races I really miss these days

I wish I could've made it to Indy. My dad did, racing their BB/GD a few times in the late 60's. He has pics & home movies from back then. They built their own cars & trailers then. I can still remember riding in the truck push starting it at our home track, New England Dragway, who he was partially responsible for it being built. Miss the old days.

In the uk a tv programme in conjunction with the owners of santa pod raceway built a slipstreamer top fueler with no wing, it was to be driven by the program presenter,a lady with no drag racing experiance. She did a couple of idles down the strip and 1 ,100ft launch. It scared her silly and they got an extremely experienced fuel driver dennis priddle to make a pass. He dam near flipped it and was all over the track,only his reactions and experiance saved a massive crash. The car was stripped of its ' aero bodywork and rebuilt as a normal rail. Dennis said the hardest thing to do is to get your foot off the throttle (as its in a sort of cage) as you automatically brace yourself fearing a crash is coming.

Pull an old car out of the museum and win. He didn't come for the beer . that's Big Daddy for ya !!

I love this era, when funny cars look like the actual production car not a a fiberglass part car part square box...

The good old days when it didn't cost you a million dollars to run the season.

The next time jim head won indy he stopped cory mac from winning 5 races in a row

Whats the deal with Tim Grose’s FC parachute deploying before the finish line? TWICE?

I was there.

I was there

Isn't this exactly what happened to Shirley when she had her big accident? 3:25

What am I seeing at 35:22?? Some random car flying across the top of the screen?

So great! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this! Watched from start to finish. Super happy to see Big Daddy win. What happened to Snake though? I saw he was there talking to Garlits in the pits but did he not qualify or did he just come to watch? And where was Shirley? She also didn't qualify?

The Black car
