Summary: Nitro-Powered Outlaw Culture is Just the Way I Like It!
Comment: My boyfriend gave me this book for my birthday and I can't put it down. It covers all the things I love about going to the races. This book illustrates the excitement of drag racing from people who devote their lives to finding ways to go faster, entertaining a crowd and staying alive all at the same time!
Leah Kerr's book beautifully describes a spectator's (like me) attraction to this sport. She lays out an easily understandable history that credits women like Barbara Hamilton, Della Woods and Paula Murphy (yeah, and the great Shirley Muldowney), for their racing determination. It's nitro-powered!

Summary: Driving me to sleep.
Comment: I have to say I'm less than thrilled with this book. It comes off as being written by someone who really really LOVES the cars, but doesn't have a clue. It reminds me of listening to my niece tell her friends about my car, enthusiastic, but uninformed. Lots of incorrect "facts"(for instance, a fuel altered is defined as a "vehicle on a radically shortened wheelbase") and shallow interviews. If you want a nice superficial coffee-table book with interesting cover art, go for it. If you want actual depth and research into the sport of drag racing, check out "High Performance" by Robert Post. END
