This is probably the most common drag racing book to appear on ebay. A copy appears on average every 2-3 weeks.

I've seen them listed with starting prices ranging from £0.99 up to £50. Obviously, the copy listed at £50 didn't attract any bids, surprise, surprise.

Well I have now set myself a search to email me if it sees new items rather than relying on remembering to do a manual search so I might have more chance of getting one.

Unless anyone out there wants to sell me a copy for a reasonable price?

I will have one for sale at the Hot Rod Drags. Call round to the Paranoia pit if interested.

Also selling Super Stock and Hot Rod mags from the 60's to present. Will have them in the tow car, so stop me and buy one!

Alas I won't be at the Hot Rod Drags but I may be able to arrange someone to collect it for me - how much are you asking for it?

Bugger, If only I had known. I had a box of about 250 of these books in the garage, all in immaculate condition, autographed by Allan Herridge, Dennis Priddle and Sammy Miller. We just finished using the last of them as firelighters...


Seriously, it is a great book if you can get hold of a copy.

Trivia question, Who is the famous fuel shoe used to model all the safety equipment pictured in the book?
