    Product description

    Told by those who lived it, this is the story of how Top Fuel Drag Racing started, when nitro methane and methanol were mixed and made racing cars go from 0 to 100 mph in 0.8 seconds! From the beginning Tom Madigan was an insider on this scene and has interviewed drivers, promoters, car builders, drag strip owners for the first account of this high-octane, speed wins world where racing cars travelled at speeds of over 330 mph!  The interviews are taken straight from Madigan’s tape recorder and faithfully transcribed and reproduced here – the real, verbatim feelings, passions, ideas, frustrations, and determination of a now vanished breed of racer. Covering racers like Tony Nancy, Mickey Thompson, Tommy Ivo, Tom McEwan, Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, engine builders Ed Pink, chassis builder Kent Fuller, and more all open the door to this world of winners to readers.

     

    - Unique, first person histories from Drag racing’s original stars – first-hand, never before told tales from the mouths of the people who actually lived it!

    - Includes never before published stunning photography from private collections to accompany the personal accounts.

    - A unique book for racers and racing fans the world over.
