Review
"With the festive season fast approaching, 'Drag Bike Racing in Britain' should be placed immediately at the top of the Christmas list of any drag bike fan, or indeed any drag racing fan." – eurodragster.com
"Richly illustrated with period photographs of the bikes and personalities, the book showcases the wide variety of machinery developed to cover the standing quarter and includes insights from many of the top drag-racers of the period." – British Dealer News
"Designed to fit in a jacket pocket, one of these books could save you plenty of future hassles. A good series." – Classic Driver
"If you're tempted to buy your own tartan-trimmed wedge, investing a tenner in this pocket guide might be money well spent. Packed with colour pictures of potential problems to watch out for, it covers V8 and Sprint-engined models too, and has plenty of detailed buying advice by expert Roger Williams." – Octane

DRAG BIKE RACING IN BRITAIN, May 16 2011

This review is from: Drag Bike Racing in Britain: From the mid 60s to the mid 80s (Paperback)
I have DRAG RACED MOTORCYCLES IN THE USA for many years and have met a few racers from around the world over the years. Many times we have laughed at their ideas and creations. But they work ! As we look at roughly 60 years of DRAGBIKES IN THE USA and laugh at how far we've come, now we can look at BRITAIN and how far they have come. We can appreciate how hard these RACERS work to over come lack of parts and suppliers. Not always perfect weather conditions and tracks not always up to USAconditions or standards. Over all I like the booked. Good pictures and stories. Like meeting some OLD FRIENDS and some NEW FRIENDS and reminiscing over their family photo albums.
Listmania!
