• Big Daddy Don Garlits Tales from the Drag Strip - Since the moment that young men began modifying and personalizing their automobiles back in the 1940's and 50's, "Big Daddy" Don Garlits was squarely in the thick of this intoxicating pursuit. By the time he had built his first serious dragster, drag strips were popping up all over the country- primitive at best-but wild and untamed racing venues where home-built creations laid the groundwork for today's multimillion-dollar high-performance industry. For the last 50 years, Big Daddy has been on the move, traveling from coast to coast with his series of "Swamp Rat" Top Fuel dragsters, electrifying fans and adding to his already immense legend as an innovator, a visionary, and a champion.

• American Drag Racing - Top fuelers, funny cars, super stocks, pro stocks, and fuel-altereds are all included in this look back at the evolution of drag racing from the 1950s to today. Modern color photography of these landmark cars is accompanied by imagery from the NHRA archives and the stories of the legends who built and drove the cars on drag strips across the nation.
