Fire, Nitro, Rubber, and Smoke: Bob McClurg's
Drag Racing Memories
by Bob McClurg
|
|
|
|
|
Fire, Nitro, Rubber, and Smoke is top drag racing photographer
Bob McClurg's highly anticipated follow-up to his best-selling
Diggers, Funnies, Gassers, and Altereds. McClurg drew upon his
substantial photo archives to deliver hundreds more of the best
drag racing photos ever taken, including many gems that have
never been published before.
One of the nation’s leading drag racing photojournalists, McClurg
captured drag racing’s most fondly remembered era from the
starting line to the finish line. Through extensive photo captions
he tells the stories of the cars, the racers, and the events that
made drag racing such a great sport. McClurg shares his
recollections of top racers like Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, “Big
Daddy” Don Garlits, Ronnie Sox, “Dyno Don” Nicholson, Tom
“Mongoose” McEwen, Tommy Ivo, Connie Kalitta, and dozens
more, along with detailed insights into the incredibly cool
machinery that these heroes of the quarter mile pedaled down the
track. He includes everything from both front- and rear-engine
dragsters to Funny Cars, gassers, altereds, Pro Stocks, and even
exhibition cars. The sights, smells, and sounds of the golden age
of drag racing come to life through these photos and provide a
guaranteed trip down memory lane for any drag racing fan.

"Fire, Nitro, Rubber, and Smoke - Bob McClurg's Drag Racing Memories is another winning book
from CarTech that any drag racing fan will love to have. Be sure to pick up a copy soon!" -Georgia
Drag Racing News, February 2007, reviewed by David Dilbeck
"Many consider drag racing's golden age to have occured during the 1960's and '70's, and
nostalgia for that period seems to swell with each passing year. So how cool would it be to have a
trove of photographs from someone who stood trackside at some of the most legendary drag meets
of the day? Bob has assembled over 300 of his favorite shots from those days which also tell the
stories behind each image as only someone who was there could."
Hemmings Muscle Machines, January 2007

own time. Factory Lightweights: Detroit’s Drag Racing Specials of the
