The Adventures of Al Joniec, Ford Drag Racer: A Story of Mustangs, Cobra Jets, Batcars, Airplanes, Dragons, Hairy Ones and 2,000 Worms

If you've ever wondered what it was really like to live through the golden years of racing, look no further than The Adventures of Al Joniec, the new book from drag racing historian Charlie Morris, as told by the Batman himself! Al Joniec put the 428 Cobra Jet on the map for Ford by winning his class and Super Stock Eliminator at the 1968 NHRA Winternationals, but he started out as a hot-rod loving kid in Philadelphia with a natural knack for getting the most out of an engine. This book chronicles his days as a dealership-sponsored racer, his membership in the Ford Drag Team, and his impressive exploits as a match racer extraordinaire. Al's account is peppered with a collection of hair-raising and humorous tales from the wild world of drag racing in the late 1950s through the early 1970s as he drove winning Fords in the Super Stock, Factory Experimental, and early Pro Stock ranks. Al also delivers a behind-the-scenes look into his other automotive endeavors that included SCCA racing, vintage sports cars, NASCAR truck series, and engine developments for both automotive and aviation applications. And it all started with 2,000 worms!
