Drag racing fans have a fondness for the drag cars that competed during the sport's golden era (from the late 1950s through the 1970s). The cars were simpler to understand and, in many classes, were similar to cars that people saw on the street. A Pro Stock car in the early 1970s resembled a street car with big slicks and a massive engine. Today's Pro Stock cars look more like fighter jets than street cars. The newer cars just aren't as relatable as those from the past. With the evolution of technology and the sanctioning bodies constantly changing class rules, drag cars often don't last very long before they are no longer competitive or a sanctioning body has outlawed the tech that the car features. So, what happens to all of these old race cars? Some sit in a shed, some are dismantled and parted out, and some still race in small events or vintage events across the country. In Drag Racing's Quarter-Mile Warriors: Volume II, prolific veteran drag racing author Doug Boyce chronicles even more of the most popular cars from the sport's golden era. Rail cars, Funny Cars, Altereds, Junior Stocks, and Super Stocks are all covered here--more than 80 of them in a "then and now" format. A blend of vintage and modern photos tell the story of the racing lives of these cars.…

Relive the excitement of drag racing’s golden era with Drag Racing’s Quarter-Mile Warriors: Volume II by veteran author Doug Boyce.
From the late 1950s through the 1970s, drag racing fans were captivated by cars that looked and felt more relatable than the high-tech machines of today. Early Pro Stock cars resembled street vehicles with big slicks and massive engines, while modern versions resemble fighter jets—spectacular but far less familiar. During the golden age, the cars were simpler to understand, easier to connect with, and often just one step removed from the vehicles people drove every day.
But as technology advanced and sanctioning bodies changed class rules, many legendary cars became obsolete almost overnight. Some were stored away, dismantled, or parted out, while others continued to compete at small or vintage events across the country. The question of what became of these machines is answered in this comprehensive volume.
Drag Racing’s Quarter-Mile Warriors: Volume II chronicles more than 80 of the most iconic cars from that golden era, including Rail Cars, Funny Cars, Altereds, Junior Stocks, and Super Stocks. Presented in a unique “then and now” format, this book blends vintage and modern photographs to tell the full racing stories of these legendary machines. It’s a must-have for any drag racing enthusiast who longs for the raw, relatable, and unforgettable cars of the sport’s most celebrated decades.
