Thank you for posting this. To bad it didn’t have all the other classes as well. An old friend won the super Comp class I believe at the 77 Gator Nationals.
Thanks for bringing this historical event. I also appreciate that you presented the video without chopping the top and bottom off or stretching it out.
I went to my first Gatornationals in 1986 & have been hooked every since. What I don't understand in watching this 1977 event is why the Funny Cars obviously have a "reverser" in the transmissions but the Top Fuel cars don't. Anyone out there have an explanation?
Enjoyed 👍 🍻
The opening intro music has the biggest overdose of the fuzz and wah-wah guitar pedals that I have ever heard in any rock song
I so enjoy watching these nostalgic videos, they take me back to the days of my youth!❤
Wow that music montage! Long live Big Daddy.

Super Comp was not a class in 1977. That didn’t come until well into the 1980s
@@CompetitionPlusTV maybe he was a different class than. I know he was world champion in 1977 in his class though
@@apuz13 - what’s his name and I will look it up. Or likely I will know from memory
@@CompetitionPlusTV Dennis Ferrara. I just messaged him so hopefully he gets back to me soon
@@CompetitionPlusTV Maybe it was Comp eliminator.

Larry Gatlin song montage was horrific to my ears.
Lary Gatlin made my dog start howling lol
