In the '60s, drag racing evolved from a "run what ya brung" grass roots effort to a full-blown professional motorsport - along the way, it created some of the most exciting racing and race cars ever built. And 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 '60s and '70s - his lens captured all the action of the Roadsters, Gassers, Altereds, Top Fuel, 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. With more than 350 color and black-and-white photos, this book is an exciting visual history of the sport's most exciting years - the Golden Age of drag racing.

This review is from: Diggers, Funnies, Gassers & Altereds: Drag Racing's Golden Era (Hardcover)
Bob McClurg has been one of drag racing's top photographers for decades, recording our sport's history at hallowed raceplants such as Lions, Irwindale and Indy. Drag racing fans and anyone with an affection for "how it used to be" will want this volume. Bob is in that handful of photographers who plied their trade both as journalists and artists.With a good mix of color and black & white images, McClurg explores the ebb and flow of drag racing's golden era in every category - slingshots, funny cars, gassers, altereds, roadsters, pro stock etc. More than just photos, there is an authoritative text and great photo captions. Do whatever it takes but BUY THIS BOOK.

Not bad, but to much about Califonia, and not enough about Midwest or the East cars. Pics are ok, but the same ones are over and over again..
