Crazy cars / Rob Colson.

Colson, Rob, 1971- (Author).

Summary:

"Since cars were invented, they've been pushed to maximum speed, both on the road and on the track. This high-interest historical take on the evolution of high-velocity vehicles features the famous cars that have pushed the extremes and the people who have made them possible. Timelines, up-close photographs, and action-packed images accompany the accessible text, which includes plenty of statistics and other facts. From deafening dragsters to a rocket car faster than the speed of sound, these are the fascinating vehicles that push the extremes. A concluding Speed File graphic organizer helps young engineers compare record-setting speeds of different classes of vehicles"--Provided by the publisher.
