This book takes a look at many of the lost quarter-mile tracks ac ross the country. Some of them are gone completely; paved over to make room for housing developments or strip malls. For fans of d rag racing's past, it's a sobering and interesting study. During the 50s and 60s, the sport of drag racing exploded in popularity. In its early days, drag racing had a class for everybody, from p rofessional rails to 4 door sedans. As a participant sport, drag racing made itself very accessible, and as a result, drag racing facilities sprang up all over the country, some national in scal e and others very small and local. This was great, for a while, b ut with the sprawl of suburbia and various economic conditions li ke the growing expense of racing over the last few decades we hav e lost hundreds of drag racing facilities across the country. Man y of these were places of legend where the biggest names in the s port got their start or ran some of their most memorable passes. Others were relatively unknown, but served a local area's needs f or a safe place for local speed addicts to run their cars. For wh atever reason, they are no longer in business, but evidence of th eir former existence still remains. This book takes a look at ma ny of the lost quarter-mile tracks across the country. Some of th em are gone completely; paved over to make room for housing devel opment

About Us

In 1971, Warren Barnett opened an auto repair shop in Norcross,GA with the intention of supporting his family and to engage in his passion for drag racing. After a very short period of time, the company evolved into a racing parts business.

From then on, Barnett Performance has been well known in the drag racing community as a serious contender on the track as well as the South's Racing Equipment Headquarters! Warren's sons, Glenn and Kirk Barnett are now running the day-to-day operations of the business, and time permitting, will continue their father's example by racing competitively at drag tracks all over the south.

Today, racers every where know that doing business with Barnett Performance means the best price, the products they want are in stock, and free same day shipping.

It's a far cry from the little shop in Norcross that started it all. Barnett Performance is located in downtown Atlanta on Memorial Drive and occupies a full city block.

The warehouse has 100,000 square feet of inventory - filled with the products racers know and trust - ready to ship to you. Anytime you're in the Atlanta area, please feel free to stop by and visit our showroom. 5,000 sq.ft. of products on display for you to browse through, as well as our salesmen you can talk with.

In addition to the sales force in the showroom, Barnett Performance has a crew of knowledgeable salesmen taking calls from customers 6 days a week to fill their orders. Each salesman has his own direct toll free number.

All orders are subjected to a triple-point quality control. Every part is scanned from the shelf to the parts puller's cart. Then it's scanned from the cart to the shipping conveyor. Finally, the part is scanned from the conveyor to your shipping box. If any part is not scanned into the box, the shipment will not go out and the packer will not be able to continue. Three scans ensures 100% accuracy of your order. Also, to make sure you receive your package unopened, the package is sealed with our own security tape.

Customers who order by 5 p.m. will ship same day. Free shipping applies to all orders that weigh 70 pounds or less, plus a handling fee as follows....

Watch the Weather Channel Tornado Hunt SUV find its target

Sat, 01 Jun 2013

A chase crew from the Weather Channel drove its GM SUVs directly into the path of an oncoming violent tornado Friday, resulting in this dramatic video from inside what appears to be a Chevrolet Suburban being tossed across the Oklahoma plains like a child's toy. Meteorologist Mike Bettes and his colleagues escaped relatively unharmed thanks at least in part to seatbelts and airbags, but the team will need to visit their local Chevy dealer for some minor repairs prior to heading out on another chase.

As envisioned by Toyota, Scion products would be quirky, uber-cool and not around long enough to get stale. Its first-edition products were replaced after just four years.
