About the Author

From the Back Cover

In the 1960s, drag racing evolved from a “run what ya brung” grassroots effort to a full-blown professional motorsport. Along the way, it created some of the most exciting racing and race cars ever built. And luckily for us, Bob McClurg was there with a camera. McClurg is an accomplished magazine writer and photographer, but he’s best known for his drag racing images of the 1960s and 1970s. His lens captured all the action of the Roadsters, Gassers, Altereds, Top Fuelers, Funny Cars, Pro/Stocks, and even the modern age of nostalgia drag racing. Now for the first time, McClurg’s best drag racing photos are brought together in one volume ― a book that every drag racing fan will have to see. Follow each of the classes as they evolve, each year bringing more speed and lower elapsed times. Follow the exciting careers of “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Don “Snake” Prudhomme, “T.V. Tommy,” Ivo, “Wild Willie” Borsch, “Big John” Mazmanian, and many, many more. You will even see the humble beginnings of modern superstars Kenny Bernstein and John Force. With more than 350 color and black-and-white photos, this book is an amazing visual history of the sport’s wildest years – the Golden Age of drag racing.
