Hot rod history with Jack Beckman—Episode 7: In 1957, drag racing banned nitromethane [Video & Photos]

The one thing in short supply was the structure needed to bring early hot rodders together to turn them into drag racers. Wally Parks, and his vision of a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), promised to do just that.
In Episode 7 of Hot Rod History with Jack Beckman—In 1957, the world of drag racing banned nitromethane, Jack recounts how speed records were catapulting forward thanks to innovation, the Chrysler Hemi, and nitromethane fuel.
