Total Performers: Ford Drag Racing In The 1960s by journalist and dedicated racing fan Charles Morris clearly documents the decade of the 60s as one packed with exciting cars, thrilling races, and substantial factory participation in the development of drag racing vehicles and technologies. Enhanced with 130 full color and 390 black/white photographs, Total Performers wonderfully showcases drag strip racing breakthroughs in automotive performance that included Ford's FE-series engine, the Police Interceptor, GT 390, Single Overhead Cam, Cobra Jet, Boss 429, and more. Here are all of the cars and their drivers that made drag racing history. Also very highly recommended from CarTech Auto Books & Manuals for car racing enthusiasts and fans is Pat Ganahl's Von Dutch: The Art, The Myth, The Legend (1884089984, $39.95).

This is a great book. It covers everything Ford did drag racing wise in the 60's

Let me begin by saying there is NO down side to this book.If you are looking for a comprehensive and entertaining book on Ford drag racing in the 1960's this is it. This book has no equal. Mr Morris has more than done his homework in regards to providing acurate/interesting information for the reader about Ford drag racing. The pictures parallel the story line in terms of quality and sometimes rarity.I think what separates this book from something similar is that it appears Mr. Morris was a part of the 1960's drag racing scene and his passion for the sport is obvious.I'm the kind of person who usually dosen't care to take the time to write product reviews but in this case I owe it to other possible readers [ and Charlie Morris ] to give credit when credit is due. If your into Ford Racing and have a passion for its rich history this book is a must. I have seen pictures and read information from this book that I have yet to find from other sources.

Nice book covers most all of the big-time ford flyers from the sixty's and seventys.
Brought a lot of memories from U.S. Nationals at Indy.
Best of the best were there, this book covered them.
Nice purchase ,will do the Mopar book next.
Worked for G.M. hated them
