Nitrofed blown hemis stuffed into a short wheelbase chassis, blasting out flames and a wall of noise that defies description, screaming to more than 330 mph in less than five seconds...all in a quarter mile. That's what funny cars are all about.

In Funny Cars, author Robert Genat traces the history of funny cars, then takes you inside a modern funny car racing effort with a detailed look at the blown 8,000 horsepower engines, the light but incredibly strong tubular chasis, and the sleek, lightweight carbon-fiber bodies. Drivers like John Force, Tony Pedregon, and Ron Capps describe what driving a funny car is like.
