Customer Reviews

Thumbs Up !!!!!!!

I liked this book a great deal, outstanding photography and good reviews on each car. I have several of Mr. Genats books and enjoy them all.

One of the best!

Not only does Robert Genat take outstanding photographs of the hot rods in his book, the accompanying text matches the quality of the photographs big time. He explores the world of drag racing in a manner that is enjoyable for both racing addicts as well as the novice. His text is easy-reading and makes the history of each car, owner and driver come alive. He covers cars that were in action from the 50s into the 70s. Drag racing is a somewhat neglected sport media-wise with the recent popularity of stock car racing so this book is a very welcome addition to any die-hard drag racing fan's library.

A must for the true drag racing fan

This is an excellent book written by someone that obviously has been a drag racing enthusiast for years. He is able to show through words and pictures a real history of some of the important cars that have made a mark on this sport. The photography is first rate and will make one appreciate how incredible the early machines actually were. As a longtime fan of drag racing, I'm hoping that a second book is in the works.
