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, 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.
