This review is from: Top Fuel Dragsters (Paperback)
If you liked this author's book on funny cars, you'll like this one. On the other hand, if you didn't enjoy the funny car book, pass this one by because it's very similar conceptually. It is a fine overview with superlative photography. My only criticism is that Genat should've spent more of the book on the classic front-engined dragsters of the 1960's. What's there is great....just not enough of it for me. But for a neophyte, it's a great book.
