Inside the book
2 Book Box Set
Chevrolet launched the Camaro in September 1966 to beat the Mustang in style and performance. This two-book set covers the Camaro from the drag strip to international road racing circuits. You get the full story on small-block and big-block dominance plus the technical details of production-based racing. Having both books on your bench means you know the chassis, the powertrain options, and the competition history for the first two generations.
Book 1 of 2
The Chevrolet Camaro entered the pony car wars with a long nose and short-deck dimensions. This book covers the drag racing exploits of the first two generations chronologically. It highlights the success of the 1967–1969 first-generation cars in small-block and big-block categories.
Professional racers like Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins and "Jungle" Jim Liberman helped Chevy dominate the competition. You can track the transition of the Camaro into Pro Stock and Funny Car categories during the 1970s. The text includes race results and driver biographies for stars like Lee Shepard and Warren "the Professor" Johnson.
Book 2 of 2
This book features a photographic history of road racing Camaros from 1966 to 1986. It focuses on production-based cars rather than the tube-frame silhouette machines of the late 1970s. You will see big-budget factory-supported cars in the Trans-Am series alongside low-buck independents.
The collection includes many never-before-published photos of the Camaro competing around the world. It covers technical details from the initial concept and design through the racing career. Every image used is from the period to show the global popularity of the car on the track.
