Drag Racing - The World's Fastest Sport, now available

New drag racing book covers entire spectrum of the sport

HAMILTON, ONTARIO (November 23, 2009) – It has been two years in the making, but Drag Racing - The World’s Fastest Sport is now available for fans of this popular form of auto racing.

The newly-released hardcover book encompasses all facets of drag racing, from a strong segment on the history of the sport to today’s top drivers in the NHRA and IHRA. There is a section on all car classes, from Stockers to Top Fuelers, a drag racing “101” primer which delves into the mechanics of the sport, and chapters devoted to women in the sport and legends of the sport.

The book is profusely illustrated with exciting and colorful photographs. The book also employs a bevy of illustrations of drag racing cars and other items related to the sport presented in a realistic fashion.

“This book has truly been a labor of love for me,” said Miller, who has written several other books on auto racing. “When I decided to attempt this book, I noticed there were many books on the sport available, but none to offer the scope that this book contains. 

“While most drag racing books are about a personality, or a class of cars,” he continued, “this book covers the whole spectrum of the sport, so a novice would have a good understanding of drag racing after reading it.”  

For Miller, who writes about motorsports for a daily newspaper, this is his latest racing book. His other motorsports works include three books on NASCAR, and a child’s book on auto racing.
