But do you know why it existed at all? The Gasser Wars of the 1960s created the most visually iconic era in drag racing history, born from a fuel ban that nobody saw coming and killed by a single rule change that almost nobody remembers today. This is the complete story of how the 1957 nitromethane ban accidentally invented an entire racing class, how Stone Woods & Cook and Big John Mazmanian became household names through manufactured rivalries and genuine speed, and why altered-wheelbase Funny Cars destroyed everything the gassers had built in less than five years. From Ohio George Montgomery's 128 mph record-breaking Willys to Cookie Cook's career-ending crash, from the match race circuits that drew thousands to the 1981 protest parade that changed nothing—this is drag racing history the way it actually happened. We're covering the physics of straight-axle launches, the economics that killed the class, the women racers history forgot, and why modern nostalgia gassers running six-second quarter miles are bringing this culture back from extinction. If you've ever wondered why those wild raked-up hot rods vanished from professional drag racing, this 40-minute deep dive answers every question you didn't know you had.
