Book Review: Funny Car Fever - The Birth of Drag Racing's Wildest Class by Steve Reyes

Book Review:

Funny Car Fever - The Birth of Drag Racing's Wildest Class
By Steve Reyes

Review by David Dilbeck, Editor
GeorgiaDragRacing.com

Another great book from the legendary photographer Steve Reyes is now available - Funny Car Fever - The Birth of Drag Racing's Wildest Class by Steve Reyes (published by Car Tech Inc.)! Amazing photos and captions from one of the best-ever drag racing photographers will leave you wanting more!

The photos are from the early years (pre-funny cars) to nearly the modern era. Along with the photos, Steve has written captions (or stories) for the photos that are informative (in several different ways!), humorous and often surprising. Steve leaves you feeling like an insider with his knowledge of what was happening at the time. Most of the best known cars and drivers are in this book.. and you'll see photos of some cars that you probably haven't heard of or seen before.

Funny Car Fever - The Birth of Drag Racing's Wildest Class by Steve Reyes is a 9" x 9" softbound 192 page book filled with approximately 350 spectacular photos (200 color) of funny cars. Wild smoky burnouts, cars on fire, header flames, wheelstands, and more! Rear-engine, four wheel drive, you name it and it's probably here.

The chapters included are:

1. Match Race Madness: Stock, Super Stock, and A/FX
2. Growing Pains: Exhibition, S/XS, and Competition Eliminator
3. The Funny Car Class: An Evolution
4. The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: The End of an Era
5. Life on the Road

Order this book now - you'll be glad you did! I'm hoping that Steve Reyes and Car Tech will produce another book soon. If they do, I'll be first in line to get a copy!

Marvin T. Smith and I are currently writing a book (Atlanta Drag Racing: The Golden Years) about Atlanta area drag racing that we hope to have completed before too much longer. We intend to honor many of the local drag racers from the Atlanta area and also provide an overview of the history of organized drag racing in Atlanta. Marv and I are pedaling as fast as we can! Keep checking GeorgiaDragRacing.com for news about our book.
