Editorial : "If you enjoyed our historic racing romp through the lower doorslammer ranks in last month's issue ("The Stocker Files," HMM#110, November 2012), you will flat-out love this book. It's a two-handed tear into the delicious smorgasboard that was basic Stock-level drag racing from the middle-Fifties onward. We don't have room here to adequately address the sheer variety of Stockers in Junior Stock's 176 softcover pages, but we'll tell you the lineup runs all the way from a Hudson Jet with a flathead straight-six to Hudsons, Studebakers and all the small-block Tri-Five lashups you could ever want. The copious history is spiced with outtakes on the Hydra-Matic era, Truppi-Kling engines and category legends such as Ted Harbit and George Cureton. The memories just won't quit.

This class format encouraged amateur participation on a level never before seen. Drag racing was a popular hobby for many, and their competition vehicles were typically warmed-over street cars that had been strategically upgraded to the limits of their specific class. This made drag racing wildly popular and amazingly attainable. The end of the class structure meant a great loss in the sport's popularity, but these amazing times will never be forgotten. Stock-class drag racing is celebrated in this new book, with hundreds of vintage color photographs showing the way it used to be. If you were a fan or
OK, the book was published in 1987, so what do you expect. The book only covers what you need to know to pass the test.. The 20/20 documentary should be required viewing as well. My dormers would have different proportions. Her specifics and her writing skills make this a worth the read book.. Her mother had died under suspicious circumstances when Betty was a toddler. I have listened to him for many years. I studied the book for 9 days and passed the exam on the first try. But this is a compelling view both of this woman’s growth and how she learned to handle problems without herself becoming a victim. I appreciate knowing there are others with tests and trials in their lives and Bill's courage and belief in himself motivates me to try harder. Their marriage ended, Betty began her life anew, and she eventually wrote this memoir.
Betty Fussell's memoir is that of a woman who is trapped in the mores of the times in which she lives. From the very beginning she is clear,
