In the mid '50s, organized drag racing gave hot rodders a safe place to race. 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, driveline, seat, and steering gear.

This new funny car book contains all the stars that waged war on quarter-mile strips of asphalt from California to Maine--a vivid pictorial display that truly captures the essence of extreme acceleration in all its glory.
