Description: Drag Racing's Quarter-Mile Warriors: Then and Now takes a unique look at the most memorable, interesting, and successful cars from this golden age of drag racing.
Drag Racing’s Quarter-Mile Warriors by Doug Boyce is a high-quality, highly informative, and overall fantastic book. I myself am not a drag racing buff, although I can marvel at some amazing cars. My father is pretty into it, and has some vintage car models on display, and a friend of mine is pursuing a career in car stunt driving, so I am pretty exposed to the world of cars.
I am very impressed with this book, which is pretty much a plethora of gorgeous pictures and fascinating information about the history of drag racing, as well as iconic dragsters, and influential drivers. It was super to get into, with easy-to-understand passages, and glossy, vibrant photographs, it was an absolute joy to flip through this book.
While it is pretty easy to read through, the detail that went into the information was not abused. The comprehensive history behind the evolution n of the cars and the sport, was impressive. One can tell that Doug Boyce did his research, and his passion for it really does shine through. Boyce does an excellent job in telling the history and current whereabouts of ionic drag cars, and explaining all the details. The updates as to where these legendary classic cars are at today were an awesome touch!
This is a great, high-quality, and interesting book. It can be a nice coffee table book, for guests to pursue, or a great addition to a vast drag-racing library. Doug Boyce did a great job with this book! I recommend it to everyone who would like a glimpse at the interesting history of drag-racing, and especially to the drag racing buffs out there; it would be a huge treat to those!
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Thank you!
