High Performance by Robert C Post
"Drag racing is an activity with a history so brief that people still around were there at the start", writes Post. "They can recall how it began as a hobby among young men infatuated with speed and power - "hot rodders", they were called. They have seen it become a compelling spectacle with a complex web of commercial relationships. And they have seen women impelled into mainstream roles to a degree far beyond what prevails in most similar activities".-
