Description: Drag Racing Funny Cars of the 1960s Photo Archive: From Super Stockers to Floppers by Lou Hart 2003 Iconografix (Hudson, Wisconsin), oblong 10 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches tall paperbound in glossy color pictorial covers, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs, 126 pp. Very slight staining, rubbing and edgewear to covers, with very slight creasing to tips. Otherwise, apart from a touch of marginal sun-toning, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked. In the 1960s funny cars captured the fans with tremendous smoky burnouts and gigantic wheelstands, they were so unpredictable that you never knew what to expect - they might go straight or end up glancing off the guard rail. Heroes were born and idolized with their driving talents and their showmanship. Arnie 'The Farmer' Beswick, 'Mr. Pontiac' Jess Tyree, The 'Kings of Smoke' - Farkonas, Coil and Minick's 'Chi-Town Hustler,' Don Schumacher, 'Big John' Mazmanian, and 'Jungle Jim' Liberman drew standing room only crowds each and every Saturday night under the lights. It was an era of development, of success and of failure. Many raced for Saturday night bragging rights, but many raced for a living - today they are legends of the sport, several of which have contributed information to this book.
