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
