Quarter-Mile Thunder: Drag Racing, Top Fuel Monsters, and the Search for Perfect Acceleration - Brossura
Sinossi
From dry lakes and airfield runways to nitromethane monsters tearing across the modern 1,000-foot strip, Quarter-Mile Thunder tells the fact-based story of drag racing's relentless search for perfect acceleration.
This polished narrative history follows the sport from its hot-rodding roots in Southern California through the founding of the NHRA, the rise of Santa Ana and Pomona, the gasser wars, the birth of Top Fuel, the rear-engine revolution of Don Garlits, the wild spectacle of Funny Cars, the precision of Pro Stock, and the championship breakthroughs of figures such as Shirley Muldowney, Kenny Bernstein, and John Force. It explores the machines, tracks, rules, sponsors, safety advances, crew chiefs, motorcycle racers, European venues, sportsman competitors, and electric challengers that shaped one of motorsport's most direct and dramatic disciplines.
At its heart, this is a book about a simple question made endlessly difficult: who gets there first? With no speculation, no mythmaking, and no wasted motion, Quarter-Mile Thunder captures the sound, danger, engineering, courage, and measured truth of drag racing-where the launch lasts seconds, but the pursuit of speed lasts generations.
