- Synopsis
- A story of ultimate raw power on two wheels. Drag bike racing developed from a strong history of sprinting in the UK, with riders battling awesome machinery to become the quickest over the standing start 1/4 mile. The variety of bikes constructed to assault the track was incredible during the sport's formative years. From V8 power and triple-engined behemoths to an unbelievably quick 500 Vincent - all are featured here. But biggest was not always best, as this book highlights.The author is well qualified to chart the progress of the sport's outstanding riders, having witnessed first-hand their amazing progress. He has been a spectator, racer, Santa Pod commentator and leading photojournalist, and in this entertaining and gripping volume, his photographs capture the essence of this highly visual sport.
