Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s

• Diggers, Funnies, Gassers, and Altereds: Drag Racing's Golden Age - 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, Thunderbolt 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.

• 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.
• Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s - Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s chronicles these rare cars that still inspire admirers and imitators today. Among racers it's never been a secret that a lighter car is a faster car--particularly in drag racing. When Detroit's automakers got involved in organized drag racing, they paid heed to this principle, issuing a series of rare race-only cars that became legends in their own time. Unbound by warranty and durability concerns, these wild cars featured lightweight additions such as fiberglass and aluminum body parts, Plexiglas windows and many more weight-saving tricks. Under their hoods were wicked, raucous engines that only felt at home on the quarter mile. Cars like the Ford Fairlane 427 Thunderbolt, Pontiac's Super Duty Catalina, Dyno Don Nicholson's Chevy II Wagon, and a whole assortment of Hemi-powered Mopars sit at the top of the heap when you're talking about the fastest American muscle cars produced during the 1960s. Few of these cars were produced and very few still survive today.
