The cars were simpler to understand and, in many classes, were similar to cars that people saw on the street. A Pro Stock car in the early 1970s resembled a street car with big slicks and a massive engine. Today's Pro Stock cars look more like fighter jets than street cars. The newer cars just aren't as relatable as those from the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the evolution of technology and the sanctioning bodies constantly changing class rules, drag cars often don't last very long before they are no longer competitive or a sanctioning body has outlawed the tech that the car features. So, what happens to all of these old race cars? Some sit in a shed, some are dismantled and parted out, and some still race in small events or vintage events across the country. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDrag Racing's Quarter-Mile Warriors: Volume II\u003c\/i\u003e, prolific veteran drag racing author Doug Boyce chronicles even more of the most popular cars from the sport's golden era.
