TV Tommy Ivo: Drag Racing's Master Showman Book

Praise for Drag Racing's Master Showman, "TV" Tommy Ivo: "When no one had mag wheels, Ivo had polished Halibrands. When guys were welding up junkyard parts, Ivo had candy apple paint jobs and chrome plating. It was Ivo who helped turn drag racing from a hobby into a profession. He deserves all the credit."—Drag racing legend Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, from his foreword "Ivo was tough, and he figured out early on that he could make more money as a showman than as a serious competitor. In those days, competitive drag racing didn't pay very much."—Don "Big Daddy" Garlits, 17-time national drag racing champion "Ivo taught me to make people laugh even when I wasn't winning. He taught me to look fans in the eye when I signed autographs, to ask their name and to make them feel special."—John Force, 14-time Funny Car champion
