In the late 1950's, thousands of street legal hot rods participated in organised drag races across the country, in three major classes : Gas, Modified Production and Modified Sports. As the racers got more serious, these cars were street legal in appearance only. Yes, they had headlights, taillights and interiors, but they were full-on race cars, with huge blown Hemi engines, wide racing slicks and raised front suspensions. Racers soon discovered that small, lightweight cars were the fastest and the class of Gasser was born.
Because these cars resembled street vehicles, they had a huge fan base and their short wheelbases and wild overpowered engines made them exciting to watch. And, as cam manufacturuers began sponsoring cars and touting their accomplishments in ads, the " Gasser Wars " were born.
This is their story.
