Synopsis
Re-live the 1970s with this book that covers a sensational and unique decade of drag racing history! In the 1950s, drag racing was in its infancy. The sport made incredible technological advancements in the 1960s, and that technology was streamlined and refined with a sense of professionalism in the 1970s. It became more difficult for a local, homebuilt, shoestring-budget team to compete at the national level. These teams were priced out of the top classes by larger teams that had more sponsorship money. So, the low-budget teams dropped to less-expensive classes or simply sold their gear and stopped competing. However, drag racing in the 1970s was fascinating in its own right. There was still a significant amount of development as well as new classes to celebrate. Funny Cars morphed from altered-wheelbase doorslammers in the early 1960s to full-blown, tube-chassis, flip-top fiberglass-bodied beasts by 1970. This led to the creation of the Pro Stock class, which was a popular child of the 1970s, with its rivalries and connections to the Detroit manufacturers. In the interest of safety, Top Fuel cars became mid-engine beasts, and they turned out to be faster as well. By the end of the decade, Funny Cars nearly became full-bodied versions of the Top Fuel cars. Many of these developments are still evident in NHRA racing today. In Drag Racing in the 1970s , veteran racing author Doug Boyce takes you chronologically through the entire exciting decade, covering the cars, the classes, and the future hall-of-fame drivers who raced them. The transition to professionalism, the big-money sponsors, the many sanctioning bodies, the rivalries, and even the lower classes (such as Modified Eliminator and Super Stock) are chronicled in this illustrated tribute. Add a copy to your drag racing library today., In the 1950s, drag racing was in its infancy. The sport made incredible technological advances in the 1960s, and that technology was streamlined and refined with a sense of professionalism in the 1970s. Major sponsors entered the sport in the 1970s and helped to change the face of drag racing. Without sponsorships, teams on a shoe-string budget found it impossible to compete at the national level. In all categories, the low-budget teams dropped to less-expensive classes or simply sold their gear and stopped competing. Drag racing in the 1970s was a fascinating period. There were new classes to celebrate and a significant amount of development across the board. In the interest of safely, Top Fuel cars morphed from front-engine rails to mid-engine beasts. In the process, they became quicker and faster. Funny Cars, which began as the unpredictable altered-wheelbase doorslammers of the early 1960s, grew into tube-chassis, flip-top; fiberglass-bodied wonders by 1970. By the end of the decade, Funny Cars verged on full-bodied versions of the Top Fuel cars. As with the Top Fuel cars, many of the advancements made through the decade are still evident in NHRA racing today. The Pro Stock class was born in 1970 out of the match-bash cars of the 1960s. Pro Stock's unmatched rivalries and direct ties to Detroit manufacturers made them a fan favorite. In Drag Racing in the 1970s, veteran drag racing author Doug Boyce takes you chronologically through the entire exciting decade, covering the cars, classes, and the future hall-of-fame drivers who raced them. The transition to professionalism, the big-money sponsors, the many sanctioning bodies, the rivalries, and even the lower classes (such as Modified Eliminator and Super Stock) are chronicled in this heavily illustrated tribute. Add a copy to your drag racing library today., Re-live the 1970s with this book that covers a sensational and unique decade of drag racing history! Veteran racing author Doug Boyce takes you chronologically through the entire exciting decade, covering the cars, the classes, and the future hall of fame drivers that piloted them.
