Lost Drag Strips by Tommy Lee Byrd

During the 50s and 60s, the sport of drag racing exploded in popularity. In its early days, drag racing had a class for everybody, from professional rails to 4 door sedans. As a participant sport, drag racing made itself very accessible, and as a result, drag racing facilities sprang up all over the country, some national in scale and others very small and local. Lost Drag Strips is a 2013 International Automotive Media Competition award winner and won “best-of” in the book category.
