DESCRIPTION:
awesome book Great stories on the history of drag racing. The pictures are excellent. if your a drag racing buff, this book is great. "ANOTHER SUPERLATIVE EFFORT" according to popular culture lover. This book is superb, even surpassing McClurg's earlier tome. Lots of sharp color and black and white images. The book is divided into genres, like slingshots, gassers, etc. I'd have liked a few more fuel altered shots, but that's quibbling. It's an excellent book that you should make it your business to get..
