Featuring \"TV\" Tommy Ivo, Don \"The Snake\" Prudhomme, Bob \"Floyde Lippencotte Jr.\" Muravez, Jim Miles, and many other luminaries from the golden age of drag racing, it also tells the story of the Road Kings of Burbank car club and how its members progressed from street racing to dominating the Southern California drag-racing scene. Several members of the club went on to become major stars as they spread the sport of drag racing across the United States and abroad through showmanship and innovation. And, of course, the book has lots of cool pictures of hot rods, customs, and dragsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLos Angeles native Tony Baker grew up in Hollywood during the height of the sixties hot-rod scene.
