Re: Mopar Movies-Ramchargers!

I concur that that book is required reading if you lived or are a fan
of the '60 drag racing scene. I have actually met and socialized with
the surviving Ramchargers. They are a great bunch of guys that are
like you and me. Guys who went to work every day and persued their
passion for going fast with the best equipment. ;o)
