Division 2’s John Markham rode his Bowling Green, Ky.-based ’84 Kawasaki to the Motorcycle championship, cutting a near-perfect .002 reaction time that forced his opponent, Division 3’s Jeremy Hicks, to break out aboard his Willard, Ohio-garaged ’16 Suzuki.

Though it has grown into a global sports-entertainment business, NHRA has not lost sight of Parks’ original goal: to provide competitors a place to race. But now those places are deluxe supertracks in major U.S. markets, and the racing runs the gamut from 10,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters to five-horsepower Jr. Dragsters. Drag racing’s journey through the decades has been sometimes swift, sometimes rocky, but always exciting and always worth the trip. In the 1950s, top performance marks were 140 mph in nine seconds. Today, they’re more than 330 mph in less than 3.7 seconds.
