James Stevens didn’t even qualify for the Pomona field but got in as an alternate, then went the distance for his first national event victory. Given the second chance, Stevens proceeded to beat Shawn Cowie, Shane Conway, and Garrett Bateman. In the end, Stevens faced Norway’s Julie Nataas in the final and won by a 5.28 to 5.40.

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.
