There is nothing like the sound of two Harley-Davidsons leaving the line to get your adrenaline pumping. Harley-Davidson Drag Racing uses over 300 color photos and 144 pages to capture that same raw energy of unleashed V-twin power.

From your neighbor’s Sportster to the Top Fuel machines, the bikes are all here. Each chapter describes one of sixteen classes, with pictures of the bikes and an explanation of the rules that make that class unique.

Scooter Grubb, long-time motorcycle photographer, takes you to the track. His photos convey not only the action that starts when the light turns green, but also the dedication and skill needed to build the bike and make it competitive. Sidebars scattered throughout the book take the action inside the pits. Meet the riders capable of turning a 6 second quarter mile, the mechanics that keep it all running at 200 miles per hour, and the track officials who make each event possible. Done with help from the AHDRA (All Harley Drag Racing Association), this new book opens with the history of Harley drag racing. Looking at photos of the best bikes from twenty or thirty years ago helps build appreciation for the very fast and sophisticated bikes on the track today.

With an abundance of color photos, Harley-Davidson Drag Racing is a visual feast. Whether you just want to drink in the action or learn more about the bikes and the classes, this book is sure to satisfy that need for speed.

Softbound, 310 illustrations, 8.5”x11”, 144 pages
