An incredible visual "digger"
trip from the early 60s to the mid 70s. Loaded with history and
over 400 photos from some of the sports best photographers. This
is a must have for any drag racing book collection.
When our young veterans began
returning they applied the knowledge they gained from Uncle Sam
in the fledgling hot rod movement. As speeds increased, rodders
learned the hard way just how dangerous it was to "drag
it out" on city streets.
In the mid '50s, organized drag
racing gave hot rodders a safer place to race, and cars evolved
from pre-war coupes and sedans to crude "rail jobs",
which were stripped and narrowed frame rails with nothing more
than an engine, drive-line, seat, and steering gear. These "rail
jobs" soon gave way to hand-made, finely crafted "Slingshot
Dragsters." Dubbed "Kings of the Sport,"
these supercharged, fuel-injected Slingshots burned exotic fuels
and captured the attention of every young enthusiast from coast
to coast. The cars dazzled with gleaming chrome, Candy Apple,
Pearlescent, and Metalf lake® paint jobs, while the nitromethane
fuel produced an unforgettable thunderous sound.
This new volume contains all
the stars that waged war on quarter-mile strips of asphalt from
California to Maine. This vivid pictorial display captures the
true essence of extreme acceleration in all its glory.
