"As the son of a Harvard graduate, it could have been difficult for Roland Leong to live up to his family's expectations. However, that wasn't the case. "The Hawaiian" knew at a young age that drag racing was his career path. His supportive mother, Teddy, saw potential in Roland and bought him a new 1962 corvette for "educational" purposes, such as wrenching and tuning. From there, it didn't take long for the world to discover Oahu's best-kept secret in drag racing."--Page [4] of cover.

Lou Hart has always been a devoted car nut, as he grew up with the first sights and sounds of the muscle car conception. Attending his first drag race at Lions Drag Strip at the age of 9 with his trusty Kodak "Brownie" camera in hand, he loved to document his visits to the strip. Hart's views are seen through the eyes of the fan, and he strives to give back, re-living drag racing's golden era. He previously authored,
