"Slingshots, A/Gassers, AFX's, If you love'em, buy this book" according to NitroHead. I just got my copy and spent the better part of the day reading it and enjoying all the beautiful photos.

A self-proclaimed “gearhead,” Robert has restored two classic cars in the last 10 years (one of which was featured in a nationally syndicated television show), and has recently completed a chopped ’32 five-window coupe. Genat lives in Encinitas, California.
Robert Genat's modern color photography of these landmark cars is accompanied by imagery from the NHRA archives and the stories of the legends who built and drove the cars on dragstrips across the nation -- people like Garlits, Prudhomme, Melvin Heath, and others. Each chapter examines the history of a different class. Top fuelers, funny cars, super stocks, pro stocks, and fuel-altereds are all included in this magnificent look back at the evolution of drag racing from the 1950s to today. The American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association has selected American Drag Racing as its top auto racing book for 2001!
