This book showcases photographically the wide variety of cars and drivers that fit into the exhibition theme: the jets, wheelstanders, rockets and other exhibition vehicles that have thrilled millions of spectators. Their entire basis was who had the fastest vehicle. But in 1959 complaints from other competitors and Detroit automakers got all aircraft-powered dragsters banned, so they became the sideshow attached to the legitimate circus that is drag racing. See The Green Monster, Walt Afrons' first jet-powered dragster, Tom Ivo's four-engine tire-smoking dragster, Bill "Maverick" Golden and the Little Red Wagon, "Wild Bill" Shrewsberry's Hurst Hemi Under Glass, LA Dart and Knott's Berry Wagon, Chuck Poole and his Chuckwagon, Doug Rose and The Green Mamba, plus many more. A must for any drag racing fan or gift for them.
