By the 1970s, the sport reached new heights of sophistication, ushering in a new era of professionalism. As larger, well-funded teams dominated the national stage, smaller, budget-conscious teams were often forced to step back or compete in lower-cost classes.

Funny Cars transformed from altered-wheelbase doorslammers of the 1960s into full-fledged, tube-chassis, fiberglass-bodied machines by 1970.
