New Book "Sensory Overload" Chronicles Street Machines Nationals - Brad Fanshaw Pens Forward

In the late 1970's and through the 1980's the Pro Street movement was the hottest thing going in car customization. The style of cars were following the lead of the NHRA Pro-Stock class of professional drag racing. The trend was spurred on by Car Craft Magazine and it's Publisher Harry Hibler and the editors such as Jeff Smith.

The muscle cars built in this style began as homage to the Pro Stocks and had huge rear tires, mountain motors and tubular chassis. As the style became wilder and wilder Car Craft even promoted an event, The Street Machine Nationals. It was this event where Fairground cruising style shows had there beginning.

As the years passed the cars became more detailed, colorful and then became Sensory Overload.

Along the way many of today's top builders look back at these events and Pro Street cars as where they got a start.
Toby Brooks new book recalls the tails of many noted builders and winners from the days when The Street Machine Nationals was the place to be each summer. The book highlights numerous award winners and their cars.

The book is available in soft cover and was published to coincide with Car Craft Street Machine Reunion in DuQuoin, Illinois.
