Synopsis
A cloud of vaporized rubber at the starting line, flaming exhaust headers, and a roar like nothing you've ever heard before. Drag racing's machines are the fastest race cars on earth -- capable of accelerating to 330 mph in less than five seconds. And for tens of thousands of drivers and crew members and millions of fans, this is the most exciting sport in the world. From hot rods speeding across abandoned airfields, salt flats, and dry desert lakes to nitro-burnin' Funny Cars rocketing down the strip to the cheers of thousands of fans, The Fast Lane chronicles fifty years of heart-pounding drag racing and the organization that made the sport what it is today: the National Hot Rod Association. Unlike any book ever published on drag racing, The Fast Lane captures the heart and soul of NHRA. With more than 230 bold, full-color photographs, this lavish book showcases the achievements, the glory, the drivers, the fans, and the highenergy spectacle that make NHRA drag racing a national passion. The Fast Lane is also a dazzling photographic celebration of innovative technology -- dragsters and Funny Cars burning nitromethane; stock cars, trucks, and motorcycles on high energy spectacle that make NHRA drag racing a national passion. The Fast Lane is also a dazzling photographic celebration of innovative technology -- dragsters and Funny Cars burning nitromethane; stock cars, trucks, and motorcycles on highoctane gasoline -- machines whose power and fury are truly unmatched.

    Seller went above and beyond when the post office lost track of my package. Seller messaged me almost daily with updated information. Seller even went as far as contacting the local Postmaster in an attempt to obtain additional tracking information. After 3 weeks my package arrived, extremely well packed and in excellent condition. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this conscientious seller. A+++++++

    These Beautiful PW Salt & Pepper shakers arrived as stated. They were packed w/ care. Excellent communication & easy to deal with. Thank you so much these were the final item I needed for my collected of PW Vintage Floral items. The shipping took a bit longer then quoted - However was not the sellers fault. They shipped out immediately- The US Postal service took their time. I was able to track the package & the delays were all on the US Postal Service. Thank you again! Pleasure doing business.

  • 2nd best NHRA book!

    Love this book, lots of info and illustrations from the beginning to modern day. Still think the original Mickey Thompson History of drag racing is a little bit better.

  • Smell the Nitro, Feel the Thunder!

    Nice overview of the history of NHRA drag racing. Maybe not the most comprehensive, as I feel there is a little too much emphasis placed on contemporary drivers whose place in history is not yet fully cemented. But the book is fun with a very visually appealing and exciting layout and a good balance of text and photos.
