Evo Overview:

Simply fascinating comes to mind when describing the latest book on drag racing entitled: "Drag Racing: The World's Fastest Sport." Acclaimed author of titles such as "NASCAR Now" and motorsports writer for the Hamilton Spectator Tim Miller has proven that not all books on drag racing are the same as he explores many elements that often elude other authors. One area of discussion that Evo commends Miller for covering is the achievement and impact of women on the sport. Whether your just learning about the sport or have been an avid enthusiast for decades Miller style of writing and awesome photography appeals to the racer in us all.

Another area that Miller briefly discusses which is often (and sadly) omitted from many drag racing books is illegal street racing. Miller wrote a brief synopsis introducing the topic and concluded the section with discussion of alternatives. Evo is proud to be featured in the illegal street racing alternatives section in both print and photo. To read the section discussing illegal street racing click the below images.

Official Press Release (From the Publisher):

Two cars, a straight line and a burning desire to win.

Drag racing is the simplest and purest form of auto racing: two competitors accelerate from a standing start to the finish line. Once considered the "bad boy" of Motorsports, drag racing has evolved into one of the most technically sophisticated forms of automotive competition. There are almost 400 professional racetracks devoted to competitive drag racing in North America.

In Drag Racing Timothy Miller reviews the history of the sport and explains the differences between the specific car classes, such as top fuel ers, funny cars, alcohol cars, pro modifieds and pro stock. Profiles of the sport's pioneers and today's best-known names are also included.

Consider these remarkable statistics from modern drag racing:

From a dead stop, a top fuel dragster is the fastest-accelerating vehicle in the world and, at full throttle, consumes the same amount of fuel as a fully loaded Boeing 747.
During the launch of a fuel car, the driver sustains close to five Gs of gravitational pull -- more than a space-shuttle astronaut.
Today's pro modifieds are capable of traveling a quarter mile in less than six seconds at speeds that exceed 240 miles per hour.

Burn rubber, eat smoke and feel the earth rumble in Drag Racing.

The book is available for purchase through many vendors including Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
