book review hot rods

We seem to be seeing a lot of really great books coming out recently ... and this remembrance book “Old Hot Rods Scrapbook” is just the latest of a line of really good books from the pen of Don Montgomery. Montgomery has a love of hot rods, automobiles and just about anything else from the early days of dry lakes and drag racing. He was there at the beginning of local Southern California tracks like Paradise Mesa, Saugus and Santa Ana. He also promoted drag racing shows from 1968 to 1972. Perhaps his greatest asset is the men and women whom he knew and the vast knowledge he has gained by being one of the original racers from that era.... This is a great collection
