Présentation de l'éditeur

There wasn't always a class for these funny looking cars. In the mid 1960s, many of drag racing's fastest drivers were outgrowing the Super Stock and Factory Experimental classes, building cars that stretched and eventually broke the rules. Promoters discovered they could pair up these altered wheelbase, injected, blown machines in exhibition match races and the spectators came running. Rivalries were born, the Funny Car class was created, and the cars kept getting faster and faster. Funny Car Fever is a humorous, heart felt, first hand account of the most exciting and memorable years of the Funny Car class. Steve Reyes followed these fiberglass bodied, nitro burning machines and their drivers from the years leading into Funny Car class through its halcyon days. He's included over 400 of his favorite images and more than a few never before heard stories to bring the feeling of the class and the era home to you.
