The Drag Safari - Dawn Of The Drags!
The Drag Safari - Dawn Of The Drags!
In 1954, HOT ROD editor Wally Parks sent a team of men on the road to teach car clubs how to hold a safe drag race. They were called the Drag Safari, and 50 years later, this is their story."Here's the thing I remember most of all." Bud Evans was doing what he does best: talking. It's no wonder he was elected to be the race announcer all those years ago. He definitely has the gift. Listening to Evans spin his yarn, I feel like the luckiest automotive writer in the business. All those buff-book guys can have their European trips to test Porsches and junk. I am sitting in a coffee shop surrounded by living legends-and I'm loving every second of it.
