Recensione
"As Post deftly guides the reader through four densely packed decades and his own cogent and persuasive analysis, his relish for the subject matter is unabashed. What's more, his prose is vigorous and tidy, and his research... is not likely to be surpassed. Staking out a technological fringe area, High Performance offers a truly memorable scholar-enthusiast's view of the bond uniting human beings and the machines they build." -- John Wilkes, Technology Review
"[Post] delves into [his] topic intensely, skillfully elucidating its connections with other areas of study. The resulting performance is high indeed." -- Frederic D. Schwarz, American Heritage of Invention and Technology
"A junkie's confession for a culture addicted to speed and noise." -- Voice Literary Supplement
Recensione
"This book will be the Bible of drag racing for future generations" -- Don Garlits

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. "Drag racing is an activity with a history so brief that people still around were there at the start", writes Post. "They can recall how it began as a hobby among young men infatuated with speed and power - "hot rodders", they were called. They have seen it become a compelling spectacle with a complex web of commercial relationships. And they have seen women impelled into mainstream roles to a degree far beyond what prevails in most similar activities". Codice articolo CIN0801846544A
