Drag Racing Gassers

One of drag racing's most popular classes was the Gassers, from the flathead Ford Model As to the overhead-valve Willys, Studebakers, Austins andAnglias, these were the stoutest full-bodied cars on strips nationwide. Touring teams ran four to six times every week, often traveling several hundred miles day and night to make their next dates. This was old school racing! The battles in A/GS (later AA/GS) ranks created many heroes and villains who etched their marks into drag racing history. Enjoy this photo book that takes you back to that time.
