What is Drag Racing Legends (Race History) about?

Drag racing is motorsports in its most elemental form: a stripped body and chassis, an engine so high strung that its internal combustion threatens constantly to go external, and a short, measured distance barely longer than a city block. To this volatile mix is added a complex precision device called a "driver." This unit - equal parts skill, intellect, and courage - is capable of monitoring dozens of simultaneous inputs, analyzing data for multiple possible outcomes, all the while controlling the subsystems that just barely keep a staged drag car in check. <p><i>Drag Racing Legends</i> chronicles 30 of the sport's greatest drivers, tuners, and NHRA figures. Author Tony Sakkis takes the reader behind the scenes with intimate first-hand profiles of drag racing greats like Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, John Force, Don Prudhomme, Wally Parks, Dick Landy, Kenny Bernstein, Mickey Thompson, Eddie Hill, Tommy Ivo, and many more. More than 150 historical black and white photos, many never before published, round out this exciting tribute to drag racing's legendary figures.</p>
