Dale Pulde's War Eagle 1977 Trans Am Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car

04/02/12 - IHRA - The San Antonio Nitro Jam had something for everyone. Friday evening action featured Pulde in the consolation round, and fans were thrilled when they saw the War Eagle trip the win light over Mike Savage in the Candies & Hughes entry, 5.92 to 6.02.

Saturday’s San Antonio Nitro Jam finale saw one of the biggest crowds in San Antonio Raceway history, as fans packed in four deep on the fence and filled every bit of real estate in the stands to witness a thrilling night of racing that featured just about everything you could cram into a night of drag racing. In a special match race for the evening, Pulde was paired up against Rich Hanna's GOJO jet funny car with the two cars splitting the evening. The crowd loved it!

Adding to the excitement of Saturday’s huge race was Dale Pulde in the “War Eagle” taking on the “GOJO” jet funny car in exhibition action. IHRA file photo.
