The Complete Book of Stock-Bodied Drag Racing cir. 1968

Dwight Southerland · 02-01-2011, 08:04 PM

Has anyone ever seen this before? I picked it up today at our local library's annual book store. 160 pages and better than typical magazine writer quality. Chapters on "The Stockers", "The Super Stocks", "Factory Experimentals", "Modified Production", "Gas Coupes", "Street Roadsters", "Car Clubs and Fun". Lots of references to old time drag racers and the cars.

I had a copy of that book when I was in grade 3. I was 8 years old and got it from the Scholastic book club. I'm pretty sure I read it so much it fell apart- remember it well.

I still have my copy.
That was the first Drag Racing book I bought.

I still have my copy. I wondered if the "Mullinax Brothers" were the same family that owned the Ford dealership in Margate, Florida.
