Product Description
The Fuel Altered, one of the most brutal and exciting cars that ever covered the quarter mile, consisted of a wheelbase average less than 100 inches that was fitted with a blown-supercharged 1500-horsepower engine running on Nitro! With a low center of gravity, the Altered was often compared to a 4,000-pound raging bull, as the driver had all he could handle keeping these beasts on the track! From flatheads to Nitro-burning monsters, see daredevils Mooneyham & Sharp, Gabby Bleeker, John Forska, Willie Borsch, Dale Emery, Leon Fitzgerald, "Big" Glenn Way, Don Green, Sush Matsubara, Leroy Chadderton, and many more blaze the quarter mile to standing-room-only crowds!

Just a picture book with a few tid bits about the cars and drivers, but boy does it take me back! This was drag racing at its best. No computers, million dollar budgets- juat stab it and steer it. Yahoo!!!

If you're into these types of race cars, then, I strongly suggest you buy this book. Great pictorial history of how and why they were started,and grew to the outlaw cars you might see at some race tracks today. For you model car builders, this an excellent reference source for the fuel altered model you want to build, ie: Nanook,Marcellus and Borsch,Mondello and Matsubara,Pure Hell, Pure Heaven, etc. You get the idea.
