Match Race Madness

by Grady Bryant

Back in the early 1960’s there was a bunch of racers in Texas who lived to race. The main thing on their minds was how to get their cars to go quicker and faster. They didn’t follow the rules, they bent the rules! Their innovations came so fast that the sanctioning bodies couldn’t keep up with them, so they began making deals to race with each individual track. The car manufacturers took notice and started coming up with modifications of their own. And so the Match Race Wars began.

Grady Bryant was one of these pioneer match racers. If you want to know some history of the sport, along with some great racing stories and a glimpse at the personalities back in the day, you’ve got to read “Match Race Madness.” Signed by the author!

Von Dutch: The Art, The Myth, The Legend

Signed by the Author!

Von Dutch is one of the most interesting characters in hot rod and popular culture history. Considered the founder of “modern” pinstriping, he was a prominent character in many of the rodding magazines of the late ‘50s, and his fame endured long after he apparently tired of it. Besides being a striper, he was a gifted artist, machinist, and gun- and knife-smith. Using stories and quotes culled from interviews, vintage photos, and images of the art and other works he left behind, this book chronicles Kenneth Howard’s life from pinstriping beatnik to bus-dwelling hermit. Where it can, this book sets the record straight on Von Dutch the man, but in many cases conflicting stories will serve to illustrate the contrary, colorful, and sometimes difficult nature of Von Dutch the legend. This book is a must-have for fans of hot rodding and hot rod culture!

Top Fuel Dragsters of the 1970s

A PHOTO ARCHIVE

The early ‘70s were a pivotal time for rear engine dragsters. “Slingshots” were front engine fire-breathing diggers where the driver sat just three feet behind the motor. This set-up proved to be very dangerous, so in 1970 at Lions Drag Strip “Big Daddy” Don Garlits vowed, after a horrific transmission explosion in his slingshot Wynns Charger, that he would formulate a design that would put the fuel motor behind him.

The emergence of the rear-engine dragster rekindled the interest in Top Fuel Eliminator class. Legendary championship drivers like TV Tommy Ivo, Tony Nancy, Gary Beck, Don Prudhomme, Jerry Ruth, Carl Olson, Tom McEwen, Shirley Muldowney, James Warren, Jeb Allen, Herm Peterson, Steve Carbone and many more, are all portrayed in sensational fire-and-smoke belching action at the race track.
