| Zusammenfassung: | Dragsters are the fastest race cars on earth, capable of reaching 300 miles an hour in a quarter-mile sprint. With 5,000-horsepower engines that use a thunderous blend of nitro fuel, they accelerate in an awesome fury of smoke and flame. For those who love high drama and high-powered machinery, there is nothing to top big-time drag racing. Millions of fans flock to speedways in Pomona, Indianapolis, and other cities each year And though the rewards the winners reap seem paltry compared to the financial and physical risks they must run, top competitors often speak of drag racing as an addiction - getting hooked on "the sound of those engines and all that technology." High Performance is a dramatic, first-hand history of this daring sport, from the earliest "legal" drags run on rural airfields to the spectacular - and sometimes tragic - careers of drag racing's boldest innovators. Post, a former racer himself, was an eyewitness to many of the episodes he describes |
