Product Description:
Fire, Nitro, Rubber, and Smoke: Bob McClurg’s Drag Racing Memories is top drag racing photographer Bob McClurg’s highly anticipated follow-up to his best-selling Diggers, Funnies, Gassers & Altereds. McClurg drew upon his substantial photo archives to deliver hundreds more of the best drag racing photos ever taken, including many gems that have never been published before. One of the nation’s leading drag racing photojournalists, McClurg captured drag racing’s most fondly remembered era from the starting line to the finish line. Through extensive captions he tells the stories of the cars, the racers, and the events that made drag racing such a great sport. McClurg shares his recollections of top racers like Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme, 'Big Daddy' Don Garlits, Ronnie Sox, 'Dyno Don' Nicholson, Tom 'Mongoose' McEwen, Tommy Ivo, Connie Kalitta, and dozens more, along with detailed insights into the incredibly cool machinery that these heroes of the quarter mile pedaled down the track. He includes everything from both front- and rear-engine dragsters to funny cars, gassers, altereds, pro stocks, and even exhibition cars. The sights, smells, and sounds of the golden age of drag racing come to life through these photos and provide a guaranteed trip down memory lane for any drag racing fan.

McClurg's book is spectacular!!! Love the way the book flows, awesome photos from the various eras. Especially good with the early 1970's rear engine fuelers. First rate!
Rated by buyers -
This book is superb, even surpassing McClurg's earlier tome. Lots of sharp colour and grey 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.
