Super Stock: Drag Racing the Family Sedan

Summary: too many stats, not enuf bolts
Review: I bought this book and read it. I hate to say it but I was pretty disappointed. It was just a big pile of names and records, a stats freaks dream but nothing for me. I wanted to know aboout the cars, the engines, how exactly did they create an AWB. I wanted more tech stuff on the cars, not a bunch of names and times.Tech talk was pretty shallow in my opinion. I will say it is a visual treasure, lots of nice pictures of these cars, and a full color section too.

Summary: Relive the Glory Days of Drag Racing
Review: If you loved drag racing during the 60's, particularly Super Stocks, then this book is for you. For Each year, it gives info on the cars (Chevy/Ford/Dodge/Plymouth/Pontiac) and who competed/won at the Major Drag Racing events. And it has lots of great pictures although I wish more were in color, most are just black and white. These were the Glory Years of Super Stock Drag Racing, intense competition and constant change.

Summary: Must have book for Super Stck Drag Racing Fans
Review: Larry Davis' new book, Super Stock - Racing the Family Sedan, is one of the best Drag Racing oriented books I've ever read. His knowledge of the topic and the very numerous photos in this book make it an absolute must own for fans of drag racing and the 1960s factory hot rods. I've displayed this book at model car shows and the response has always been amazing with nearly everyone asking for a source to purchase it. Larry is planning a sequel and I'll be on the list to purchase it as soon as it is available.

Summary: A great photo history of a bygone era.
Review: This book is a must-have for the drag racing historian or any car nut that missed out on the golden era of drag racing the 'family' car. Numerous photos depicting how the cars were set up and raced. A fun flashback!

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This is an excellent book for anyone who likes drag racing, street racing, etc. It is about the evolution of drag racing in the 60's. This book has great pictures and commentary by the author, who has really done his research. I recomend this book to everybody who has ever had a 60's-70's muscle car.

Summary: A great photo history of a bygone era.
Review: What a book! Thank you Mr.Davis for taking the enormous amount of time to compile all this info in one place. With the wealth of unseen (by me) photos this book makes me feel like I was there even though I was too young in the 1960's to experience these cars live. The book is a great reference guide for me as I am now in the process of building a nostalgia super stocker of my own.
