Fans of drag racing journo Cole Coonce know his book, Infinity Over Zero, as a tribute to land speed racing, but now he has a new project in print called Top Fuel Wormhole: The Cole Coonce Drag Strip Reader. It’s available now on Amazon, or see the official site here. We’re going to need a copy ourselves.
Also, Coonce will be on live tonight at 6:00 pm PST on SpeedRacingScene.com, plus you can call in.
Here’s his official email to us wit more info:
“Scott ‘Lucky’ Hudson, the co-host of the ‘Speed Scene Live’ webcast, has gracefully invited yours truly to discuss my new collection of drag strip journalism, Top Fuel Wormhole, on his show tomorrow night.
As Hudson hisself writes, ‘Author and nitro junkie, Cole Coonce, on Speed Scene Live TV tomorrow talking about his great new book! Check out Top Fuel Wormhole at www.SpeedSceneRacing.com’
Show time is: 6 pm PST, Tuesday, May 5th. To hear the show, point your browser to: www.SpeedSceneRacing.com
There will be call-in segments also. The number is 1-800-809-0802. Feel free to phone the show and discuss anything from The Surfers AA/Fuel Dragster to Thrust SSC’s Mach One land speed record to ‘Jocko’ Johnson’s streamliners to ‘Wild Willie’ Borsch driving around opposing guardrails to ‘Nitro Neil’ Bisciglia’s behind-the-wheel asphalt poetry to Arley Langlo’s political acts in a Top Fuel dragster…. My hope is that the tenor of the broadcast will be nitromaniacal equivalent of the nights talk jock Art Bell would shoot the cosmic bullbutter with Terence McKenna. Or thereabouts.”
