Steve Reyes takes us back to a magical era lost in the mist of time. If you love early Funny Cars and the history of our sport, you will want Funny Car Fever in your library. --Drag Review Magazine, reviewed by Jim Marchyshyn, May 2007

The book is of the utmost quality, and if you are like us, flipping through the pages will be a mesmerizing blast fromt he past. --Mike Kelly's Cruise News, July 2007

5.0 out of 5 stars funny car fever fantastic, June 2, 2007
Steve Reyes is the photo king of the drag racing world. Awesome photos of the 1960's thru early 1980's of all the great funnys and lots of obscure ones too. Must have for drag racing fans interested in the rich history of the sport before all the corporate p.c. crap of the current day. Wild and wooly the way it really was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Cars Forever, May 13, 2009
I have been a fan of Funny Cars since my first race at the OCIR Manufacturers meet in 1970. Steve has always taken the greatest action shots. The pictures in this book are no exception. Due to the memories it brings back, this is one book that I will keep coming back to forever.
