Synopsis
Top fuelers, funny cars, super stocks, pro stocks, and fuel-altereds are all included in this magnificent look back at the evolution of drag racing from the 1950s to today. Each chapter examines the history of a different class. Robert Genat's modern color photography of these landmark cars is accompanied by imagery from the NHRA archives and the stories of the legends who built and drove the cars on dragstrips across the nation -- people like Garlits, Prudhomme, Melvin Heath, and others. The American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association has selected American Drag Racing as its top auto racing book for 2001!

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition ( 'First published in 2001'). As you can see from the photos, the black covers are very clean with just a few white specks. They have very little wear, a speck-sized spot of rub-through at the front and rear bottom corner and at the front side of the spine off the top edge. The white lettering on the spine is very bright. The spine has a slight forward lean and the covers bow out just a little bit. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. The covers are also tightly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. I scrolled through them several times without finding any instances of soiling. As is often the case with glossy paper there is toning at the margins of the pages. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing. There are no markings in the book. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The dust jacket can be seen in the first few photos. It too is in very good condition. It's very clean. It doesn't have any tears. It has a few light surface scratches and a little bit of crinkling off the top edges. The flaps are in very good condition, very clean, no wear. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. Seller Inventory # 003146
